1826 Jany 26 Feb. 6. Quere whether to employ?
Constitutional Code. Ch. VI Legislative
§. 24 Self-Supplitive
Instructions
In English practice, in the House of Lards any
Member may appoint a proxy, whose function consists in
delivering on the occasion of each question a vote on which side be the proxy chooses.
This substitute must be a Member and may be any Member of the same House.
This example may serve to wipe off expunge in some
measure the objection colour of innovation: but it wants much
of being an example in point. It serves for vote: but it
serves not for speech or motion. The proxy has a vote
bends his arm; but he has not a mind a pair of lips or a pair of
ears besides his own. The Lord has the pair, but he
is not under any obligation of keeping it in exercise. Whatsoever
if any is the bad effect of these deficiencies it is lessened
by the circumstance that the situation of the principal being
a situation exempt from all responsibility in favour of in relation to the
people, and the interest to be supported, an interest in
essentially and incurably hostile to that of the people
the case is on in which no breach of trust to the detriment
of the interest of the people can have place. By any
breach of trust on the part of the substitute as towards the law
principals the interest of the people is not more likely to be
deprived than served.
