The principles cause of Justice defended against the this service again
by , Judge of Instruction in the case of
the Cadiz Massacre

Sir Remarks on Coronel Fiscal Gaspar Hermosa in Necessity of a Code of Judicial Procedure opposite to our
principles opposite to those of the existing Rome-bred Law: illustrated
by Remarks in the Reports made dated 20th August 1820 by
Sir, People of SpainCoronel Fiscal Gaspar Hermosa Judge of Instruction in the case
of the Cadiz Massacre.

Complaints are I observe have been made against the Judge of Instruction
of the delay by which experienced in the case of the Cadiz
Massacre, If a paper signed according to the English Translation Sanlucas de Barrameda
20th August 1820 the Judge of Instruction Coronel Fiscal
Gaspar Hermosa, the professed object is – to satisfy the Spanish
people that from this delay no inferences are justly deducible misconduct is justly imputable
to the prejudice of the regulation of misconduct, is not in any shape justly imputable to that Judge. The business
in question is the business of the day. But out of this on the
occasion of this business, I see principles avoured, the influence
of which is of as lasting a nature as that of the system of law
of which they make a part and from which they were imbibed.

"I remind the public" (says this Judge) "I remind the public
"that delay in judicial proceedings is a tribute which is
"due to justice, and as it were the price at which the security
"of the Citizen is purchased: that the judicial forms
"are had been said (if instead of are he had said ought to be his proposition would
"have been rather more stood rather clearer of dispute) "and
"the judicial forms are the shields of liberty, and precipitation
"the most dangerous evil rock in the way of justice.
