Jurymen the same as . Lessens aristocracy, not

In p. 380 the Courts of Conscience are mentioned:
and in what way? as belonging to the class of
Courts judicatories, every one of which is becomes in its creation a
new "step towards establishing ..... the most oppressive of
"absolute governments": aristocracy, the most oppressive
of absolute governments.

Here there are a set of judicatories which
so far as concerns the mode of procedure observed in
them possess not only all the excellences features of excellence correspondent
and opposite to the several defects noted by himself
as attached to Jury-trial procedure practice, but others
equally indisputable which he has not noted.

Yet when these judicatories thus thus far at least in these important
respects so much superior to the reigning favourite
are brought on the carpet, it is for no other
purpose than to be exhibited stuck up as a bugbear: and the as
practised seek to be comprized under the general warning
by which those in whom it depends are exported
"above all, to guard with the most zealous circumspection
"against the introduction of new and arbitrary
"methods of trial, which under a variety of plausible
"pretences, may in turn imperceptibly undermine
"this best preservative of English liberty".+ + III. 381.
