those of the Excise for instance paying the custom, and
the Commissioners of Excise had been paid out of
the customs for example, those of the customs, the Excise and those of the customs
out of the Excise. Alas!, how wide the difference
between Parliamentary rhetoric and honest reasoning
investigation when all the when the united ties of party interest and
personal friendship can act (for this declamation
were a temporary excursion escapade deviation elopement from the arms of the
minister) can not make a man of merit and
talents proof against the illusion fascination of such threadbare
sophistry! After this comes imprisonment
for life — starvation — confiscation -- ditto repeated for wife and
children. All this load of odium is taken
without notice reason from off the backs of Juries, and
thrown hurled without mercy at the heads of Commissioners
is silently removed without warrant or notice
from the regular tribunal and set down without
mercy to the sole account of the summary; though
it is the property of the latter to leave it what the
Law designed it to be, and if the former, to double
it. Such is are the labours of the ! pillars of the constitution
See here the altars on which daily incense is offered to
the golden calf image which the idolatry of lawyercraft
has set up and offers daily offered for so many centuries to the idolatry
of the people!
