Elden giving &c to his See
Finance Reports

Thus again in the case of Law taxes and fees: and but
in particular particularly fees imposed by Judges without warrant from any
act of the legislature. Of these some have gone to the find their way
by the strait road into the pocket of the Judge: others in a less direct
way by means of patronage, that is by being received to their own use
by subordinates under his command and appointed by himself
he selling or not selling the situ offices with those fees annext
according as best suits his views. The Chief Justice of the Kings
Bench sells those offices: the more greater the such in the that judicatory
the greater the mass aggregate of those fees. F Under what is called
Common Law that is a Judge-made law, the Judge in concert
with the Attorney General or whoever else will tend himself to the
purpose in its create into crimes whatsoever acts it suits pleases
them so to deal with, punishing as far as forbidden prohibited crime, an act
in relation to which no prohibition has by the legislature or even
by himself been ever issued. For those Three or four phrases which they
have at hand serve one or other of them for pretence. The American
United States in their declaration Constitution declare among other things
that there shall never be any ex post facto. They at the same time
keep on foot the English Common Law which in its whole texture
is neither more nor less than a tissue of ex port facto laws,
having all the absurdity, all and more than the inconsistency of everything all
the injustice all the unfeeling cruelty of every thing that ever bears
that name. The Chief Justice of the Kings Bench sells or gives the Justicship of the
prism which bears the name of that judicatory. The present Chancellor
given to a son of his own Offices that By the gift of his father a son of the present Chancellor possesses Offices producing on the whole several thousand
a year. In this state of things, in the shape of extortion, negligence
or any other shape suppose misconduct manifested by the
possessor of any one of those Offices: let it be imagined what expectation
could by any man of common sense who from any such misconduct
had received injury let it be imagined what chance of redress he could conceive
himself to have, not to speak of punishment were he to complain to the
patron, or justice against the injury received from the protegé or son.
