1827. Novr 20.

Constitutional Code.

1.

Functionary not distinguished
from others
by his habiliments, to
be judged of by his dress.

2.

If habiliments such
as to give respect,
they are a bounty on
misconduct.

3.

The stronger the desire
for respect ensuring
habiliments,
the greater the proof
of not deserving respect.

4.

Anglice habiliments
of Judges- of the Privy
Council - of the
Quarter sessions
those of Gentlemen.

5.

Under proposed system,
no such distinction
necessary.

6.

The effect of such
habiliments, the giving
a false certificate.

7.

Misconception
and confusion
the result of such
misrepresentation

1.

Peculiar habiliments
meant as
instruments of
discrimination distinction alone.

2.

Discrimination
not distinction -
Distinction being
ambiguous.

3.

Instruments of discrimination
to facilitate
judicial
inspection on the
part of casual visitors.

4.

Judicial applicant
sees at once the
person to whom application
is to be
made.

5.

Not as a source of
respect-mischiefs
which would arise
if considered in that
character.

6.

But for this circumstance,
long
flowing rates the
most appropriate
for the Judge.

7.

If habiliments, the
means of giving
respect, they would
give as much to
the worst as to
the best Judge.

8.

The greater a man's
desire to procure
respect for his office,
the less the
quantity he knows
his behaviour in
it deserves.

9.

By this anxiety
have been produced
the notions
that peace and
happiness depend
on respect to Judges.

10.

Anglo-American
practice compared
to European.

11.

General rule.
Common to all
functionaries, a
mark for discrimination,
not
for factitious dignity.

12.

Example Common
to all, a sash:
Colours and legends
different for each
office.

13.

For judge, colour
dark brown: legend
in white
Judge principal
or Judge Depute
as the case may
be
