1824. Jany. 9.

Constitutional Code.

Ch. Judge Deputes.
§. Provision ag<hi rend="superscript">st abuse.

11.
Here, to the above, is
added in expectancy
the supreme power
with pay: by this may
be procured more
strictness of attendance
than could be by
any other method.

To all who have not
submitted to this strictness,
all access to the
pecuniary reward
with the independent
power, is barred.

12.
Nor yet are the evils
of monopoly thus
introduced: for deficiency
in the number
can not exist, but it
is the interest of those
who have the power
that it shd. be filled
up.

13.
2. By every hour of actual
attendance, the Depute's
capacity of promotion
will be brought nearer:
thus will every act of
good desert in this
shape bring with it it's
own reward.

3. And, as between each
Depute and his colleagues, each
who bestows the hour,
will gain an advantage
over all who do
not.

As to the probable number,
And the logical field
being at it's maximum,
small must be the
local field that will not
furnish a demand for
Deputes permanent more
than one, or even two.

Ch. Judge Deputes.
§. Provision ag<hi rend="superscript">st abuse.

14.
A Judge Depute permanent
will thus be in
the condition of an
Apprentice, to whom
uniform good behaviour
affords a proportionable
prospect of
being taken into partnership.

15.
All having this to gain,
none having any positive
loss to suffer.
Hence, will naturally
be formed two classes:
1. Closely attendant, those
who look to office with
pay and superior power;
say, stipendiaries
in expectancy.
2. Loosely attendant,
those content with the
inferior power without
pay: the occupation
being agreeable to them,
so long as the burthen
of attendance is not
too heavy: say,
gratuitously-serving Deputes,
of Honorary Deputes.

16.
Natural check to abuse
of patronage by Judge
Principal: the value
of the Expectant's situation
would be inversely
as the number of the
occupants: thence, what
soever were his desire,
power of rendering the
number excessive wd.
not accompany it.
Thus in the case of
the stipendiaries in
expectancy.

§. Provision ag<hi rend="superscript">st abuse.

17.
Not equally so in
the case of the
Honoraries. If free from
burthen, the slightest
mark of superiority
is to most men
acceptable. Thus but
for some remedy, the
establishment would
be infested with
sinecures. The
sinecurists, though they
cost no money, wd.
in other ways be
mischievous:
corrupting & corrupted.

18.
For remedy, bind all
Deputes permanent
to a certain minimum
of attendance in the
year: those who failed
to bestow it, wd.
silently drop out of
the list, without the
harsh operation of
dislocation, or resignation
in form.

19.
The two classes not
having any distinctive
mark, wd. have
no determinate
excitement to enmity:
yet of emulation, not
only as between
individual & individual,
but as between class
and class, the service
wd. have the benefit.

20.
Lest, by indolence or
ill-humour attendance,
when requisite, should
be withheld & justice
thus delayed, power of
mutation for non-attendance,
after summons,
might be given to
the Judge Principal
as per
