Ch.
§. 2 Responsibility

Witness Mr Gourlay and the Duke of Somerset. The Mr
Duke Gourlay on the score if any of wrong his suits depending
against the Duke. In a the judicatory much like the House of Lords
redress is awarded to Mr Gourlay. But the Duke, being as such
a Lord removes the suit into the House of Lords which House
as everybody knows is under the compleat direction of the Chancellor
and in particular of Lord Elden who can at pleasure conjunct the
number of years a suit lasts between Appeal and effective decision
at pleasure and who is in the habit of making greater
to this all together than here was made by any predecessor
of his. Such is the responsibility an the responsibility
of this Duke and of any other Duke towards
every individual whom it pleases to
or to oppress. The consequence is that Mr Gourlay when
the Duke fail at his case is for subsistence breaking
stones with a hammer while the Duke is sitting and
it in the House of Lords.

So much for the legal But the moral responsibility it may be said sits upon
the duke with all its weight: yes but with the weight of a
pint of hydrogen gas. Those who are breaking stone in company with
Mr Gourlay are breaking stone thick the name of Dr
the Duke for thus making calling in and in the of House.
But any Duke, any Lord or any one who to become
a Lord is to with a Lord he think any
of the Duke of Somerset? The difficulty would be not
merely to any such person who does think the if he
but any such person who in his case place would not do as he
does.

In the Public Opinion Tribunal The popular or moral sanction the one he

the community has it any ? are the it has

, the he is cherished and admired by the
of the sector

that of the community taken
in the aggregate: if the
the operative
interest is acts in of
to it.
