Instructional

As in the person of the Monarch for the benefit of Monarchy
the Government has so lately provided an instrument for the committing
with impunity and without intent that which otherwise be murder, so
in another quarter has it of old made a correspondent provision
for the benefit of an aristocracy. The Grand Jury is essentially
and avowedly an aristocratical body: by its very name
it is proclaimed such: without its no man be his
crime what it may can be so much as put upon its
trial. Its deliberations are carried on in all the darkness
of secrecy: and are one rule of secrecy
the person of who it is imposed have but to agree with
one another and they are free not only from all legal danger
but from the very sense of shame: by the of this
whether it of 23 is but a the scorn by the iniquity
is in a greater than that of producing
may be exercised in favour of any person or persons to
who they choose to give impunity: impunity for crime in any shape
and whether this power or this exercise of it is a
the example of Manchester sufficiently shows.

The Manchester massacres – the harm by which
the catastrophe of this day plan which that plan was the sum
is vulgarly denominated. But if the to the seat of government persons to whom
when in chief it was from those belongs the country people are principally
indebted for whatsoever the merit of that transaction who
by so new causes such high rank was given, a
much higher denomination would be the proper one: the
Westminster massacre, the Yard massacre, The
to Saint James, the House massacres.

All this while those but two this law is out of a list
of ones all breathe the same spirit and to the
same end: so that if all England be is referred to as a country
in which for any thing that is done to one by two as is is possessed by
any person in the country except one in exception of it to to lay
it within the of in exception must be made as to those
their who are at one implacable and irresistible.
