To make a full any thing like a compleat statement
of the grounds of this above manifested persuasion would require a fully develop compleat
volume: it would require a compleat exposure of <add>the system of those same inviolable laws:
exposure of the system of laws under which have been
But to ca for the production of a justification of that such a persuasion to

and that is the secrecy impermeable darkness in which the whole procedure has is
been enveloped. 4

You have seen already
the use and reason of that darkness.
It is to enable a man
In Spain a man must
be more or less than
man, if he does not
put it to this use.
For Spain, put Portugal
Italy, Germany: — many Take
any country where Rome —
law reigns, the
case will be little varied.
I am speaking of such secrecy
Where there is no publicity
(I speak of judicatories)
truly there is no justice.
There is Aappropriation, depredation
corruption — every
thing but justice,
all that there is — every
thing rather than justice.
Publicity in In the
pleadings of advocates,
here and there are
instances perhaps, you
will see publicity admitted.
In Pleadings: yes: but upon
what ground? upon the
ground of the evidence
garbled manufactured at pleasure
under the veil of secrecy:
the evidence offense
of the cause thus corrupted
in its vitals part, and
in the judicating all
sense ofresponsibility destroyed: destroyed
— the thing itself,
by the multitude and the scores of the
Judges.

In Spain as in any other country
At a stage at which, by forming a sort of partial record
in which the operations of the Judge have been wrapped up
how inadequate so ever to the first and cause an Ingarbled public, the multiplicity
in darkness. I see the reason of that darkness
of Judges might be of more of less use, supply some restraing to corruption being , than it stands excluded:
enables the man of his of all classes to persue with recess
in the stage at which it can be of no such use, that is the
and impunity the way of evidence which, at the expense

much more by the presence of a colleague, one invested with equal

injustice, as the putting an ungrounded exclusion upon a witness

after a decision p already pronounced by one judicatory, a question
comes in the way of appeal before another, and that other a many-seated
one, there is nothing to hinder any one member of it from giving
to his vote the direction, whatever it be that corruption indicates. As to fear of divulgation
there no place for any such thing. How should this be ? - there is nothing to divulge.]
