1826. Sept.
Constitutional Code

Art. or Commenced no prosecution of them for the purpose of punishment can be, without
either the allowance of either from the Kings Bench Judges after public discussion
(name of the prosecution information) or without any
discussion that of public if any or private, from the Kings Attorney General (name of the prosecution
ex officio information) or without any except secret
discussion, from a Grand Jury, in numbers not less than 13 out of 24. But this Grand Judicatory,
to which the initiative in Judicature is thus given is a
of the composed of men selected professedly out of the Aristocracy linked with those
by the like community of sinister interest with those over whom they thus sit in judgment: and to screen them
from responsibility in every shape, moral as well as legal
their what p the whole of their proceeding is effectually screened from the public
eye. And Moreover, lest all this should not be sufficient, thereupon, in which so
ever of those three modes they the prosecution is commenced, it is
furnished by followed by a trial before a Special Petty Jury carefully composed
nor yet without partial selection, out of the same materials as
the preliminary Jury so aptly distinguished by the name attribute appellation of
Grand bestowed upon it.

So much for the species matter of pursuit called prosecution, employed for the purpose of punishment. In
the case of the mode of pursuit called action, employed for the purpose of compensation
it extends not to cases of wrong done to the public without unaccompanied
with special wrong to any to any in some assignable individual; and,
where it has place, treble costs are provided, as if single
costs were not sufficient, to incapacitate or deter all but the
opulent from the attempt to reap the benefit of it.
