§.

A Tiberius the Monarch by whom this law was passed.

Instructional.

To this power of universal murder an imperfect
remnant of the old law opposed a check, sanity feeble and inadequate
indeed, but still better than none. In a case of
homicide, certain relatives there were of the deceased to
whom the state of the law had left a right of pursuit which no
functionary could to a certainty take away, Even this check
was not to be endured of but the precaution being regarded
on the footing of a private one, the right might at pleasure
be given up by the possessor, in which case unless all the money
at the disposal of the Monarch were an object of contempt
or indifference to him, all the utmost the inconvenience to which this
check could expose the prime author of any such murder
would be the exposure: the exposure to that Public Opinion
Tribunal which still remains the slave in a state no little better than that of enslavement of mischievous
prejudice in every imaginable shape.

Even this restraint was too irksome to be endured.
Under the reign of the past Under the auspices of the best of kings⊞ ⊞ and the real reign of the present best of Kings, a one appropriate law was made to
rid him and he was freed from it, a law was made to
free from it, and freed from it he was and his successors are successor is
accordingly. Here then, if anything which is done according
to law could with propriety be termed a conspiracy here
on the part of all who concurred in the framing and pressing
of this law, is a conspiracy against the lives of all the rest.
The In this country land the Monarch be he who he may, is by
the law of it placed under the happy and universally acknowledged incapacity of doing wrong:
for that which if done by any one other person would be wrong
becomes right if done by him, and this for the simple reason
that it were he that did it. If being displeased with you he
were to send for you and upon you comes out
your threat for no other reason than that of your having displeased
him this would not be made. Indeed how should it be: for
murder is, a wrong thing: and as the King can not do a wrong thing
therefore he can not do murder. If to save himself trouble, he were
to a Lord in
waiting or a footman in
waiting to do the thing
instead of him there
would not be no wrong
in this, either on the part
of the best of Kings, the
him who issued the mandate, is him who executed it.
