1825. Decr. 23d.

Constitutional Code. Ch.XII. Judiciary Collectively
§.24. Remuneration

1.

Pecuniary remuneration
amount of:

2.

No remuneration
from individuals.

3.

Of money received
by Judges connections
the corruptive effect
may be as great on
Judge, as of money received
by himself yet
for acts of other inflicting
punishment on
Judge, would be altogether
unjust and
mischievous.

4.

But if justice of an
act of Judges be dubious,
the benefit
accruing to his connections
may be an
additional ground for
appeal.

5.

Elicitation of evidence
of corruption allowed
to any person in
his respectability as
to insincerity on temeracious
vexation

6.

To judge from such
attempts at elicitation,
no harm if innocent.

7.

In the case of immediate
Judicial
functionaries added
to pecuniary remuneration,
is prospect
to promotion to an
Appellate Judicatory.

8.

So in the case of Depute,
prospect of location,
as principal
is added to the inseparable
power and
dignity of his situation.

9.

No service, no remuneration.

10.

Without experience
no assurance but
that, by pecuniary
competition, the largest
salaries may
be reduced to 0.

11.

In France, small
salaries, though
enormous extortion
of the members of
their <sic><hi rend="underline">Parlements</sic>.</hi>

12.

Supposing the salary
thus reduced
to 0, here would be
unpaid Majistracy
but unattended with
the evils of the actual
unpaid Magistracy.

13.

Under existing
system, evils of the
Magistracy not
owing to their being
un-paid.

14.

Sources of these evils
1. Badness of the laws.

15.

2. Absence of securities.

16.

3. Situation exposing
them to put laws
to mischievous uses.

17.

Supposing them
to be in reality unpaid,
the evil wd.
be still further increased.

18.

But they are not
in fact unpaid.

19.

Paid, not into
their own hands,
but into those of
their Clerk.

20.

Clerk a protege,
and Magistrate's
power and patronage
increased.

21.

As to Corruptive
nature of source
of emolument,
see Ch. IX.
