1831. Sept.5
Const. Code
17(a) Expence
Anglica of
Maniscatedness
1. See now Matchless
Constitution: expense
quadrupted by paying
four Judges for
doing what would
be done less badly
by one.
2. This applies only
to parts of the business
which were
the ends of justice
arrived at would
not be done.
3. Portion done single
-seatedly
1. Trial
2. Chamber business:
present none
but those whose interest
it is that it
be pessimized: misdecision,
expense, &c
maximized.
4. Note here the inconsistency:
one part
not justifiable but
by condemnation
past on another.
5. Judicatories in
which this superfetation
is exemplfied,
this quadruplicity
vice unity, these 3:
in no one of the 3
Equity superior Judicatories
in which 3
are so strangely
piled one upon another
nor in the subordinate
whose Judges
are stiled Masters.
17(a) continual
Expense Anglice1
8. Judges even 2 in
cases in which common
sense in union
with common honesty
would forbid all argument
- question for
instance whether a man
without reproach shall
lose his right or a
murderer receive impunity,
because a
Clerk unintentionally
or intentionally has
miswritten a word.
8. Chief having delivered
his Opinion, for
giving to understand
identity of opinion
three cheaper instruments
might be provided:
say a parrot,
a wax work Judge or
a Plumber's Lay-man.
9<p>. Sole man by whom
rationality is
the Chief: for being
always a Lord, generally
a Peer, sometimes
even a Cabinet
Minister, to him
alone belongs all
the influence: by whom
alone anything worth
noting said.
10. For years together
had sitten unconsulted
by Lord Mansfield
Chief Justice, Penine
Judge Wilks: so declared
he, when driven
into rebellion
by contempt.</p>

18 Expense
Gallice
Maniscalishness
If in France by many
seatedness benefit was
ever produced it is
not to Judicature but
to Legislature: viz, by
the strength given to
the feeble suspensive
veto applicable by
Judges to despotic
legislation, by non-
registration.

19 Expence
Gallice of
Many seatedness
At present, Salary
of Judge of the highest
judicatory (the Cour
Royale) £750: Judges
55: waste in Salaries
£750x54 - yet
under such a Constitution,
perhaps even
this may not be too
much to pay for
the publication: better
spent than on Judges
than on Jesuits.</p>
