1824. Jany. 30. Constitutional Code.
Thus much as to the honest class of customers
now as to the dishonest. For recommending him
self to their favor and their custom, no other
means can he have than the generally believed
disposition in alliance with the power, to give
effect to their dispositions and endeavours to elude
or misapply -direct, to the advancement of their own
sinister interest, the powers of Judicature.
True it is, that by any disposition on his part,
to make sacrifice of their interest to his own,
no recommendation of him, in his quality of professional
assistant, can be given to them. But
as to the giving advancement to that sinister interest
by which, by the supposition, they are actuated,
his interest sinister as it is, is identified with theirs: since no further
than so far as, in their view of the matter,
he joins with them and assists them in the
giving advancement to their sinister interest,
can he hope to be continued to be employed by
them, and for the obtainment of this assistance
which, by the supposition, is indispensably necessary
to them, and which they can not, as they see,
obtain but on this condition and subject to this
wish, they can do no otherwise than subject themselves
to it. The more enormous their improbity, the
more enormous the improbity of the sort of assistant,
of whose aid they see themselves to stand in need.
And thus it is, that while probity is a recommendation
to the one of the two classes of customers, improbity
is a recommendation, and that an indispensable
one, to the other.
