Now as to the extent of the class of persons to whom the
sinister service is rendered. In this respect likewise the service will
require to be distinguished into particular and general. Of the
wilful and mischievous falshoods in question, some will be found
in a more particular manner serviceable to the functionaries
having the direction of the business in that particular department
of Government in the business of which they are employed, and
in which they are employed to the giving augmentation to the arbitrary
power of those same rulers, thus enabling them, with the
greater efficiency, and to the greater extent, to make sacrifice of
the universal interest, to their several particular and sinister
interests.
In every case, and throughout the whole field of Government,
these instruments of misrule have had as they could
but have had for their sole fabricators the fraternity of
Lawyers: more particularly and obviously such of them as have been invested
with official power, principally in the situation and under the
name of Judges: Though in the unofficial and less formidable character
of writers, authors of reports and treatises, men of the
same class fraternity have not been wanting in contributing their share.
The situations on which by means of this instrument of
misrule, arbitrary power is to be heaped by these same indefatigable
hands are those that of the Monarch, and that of the Judge.
On that of the Monarch, the Chief portion his being the only
permanent one of the two situations, and that to which the subject many
were at all times engaged, and that to which the subject many
were at all times engaged by habit to manifest that obsequiousness
on the one part, of which power on the other part is composed.
