Sections

Of these occurrences the most importance are those
petty verbal injuries which taking advantage of his preeminence
in that situation is so apt love of power is so apt
to indulge itself in inflicting on those whom it sees
subject to it: injuries which though occasioned by the suit
bear no relation to have particular connection with the particular interests at stake upon
the event of it. In the established systems these injuries transgressions
of this sort have very generally been left unnoticed
and repressed. Between the possessors of supreme power
and their principal instruments in this department as in
every other there exists a naturally community of
sinister interest: the pride of the principal superior is gratified
by every gratification received by the pride of his subordinate:
according to his calculation the superior can not do too
much to increase augment, he can not do too little to diminish
the fear inspired by the instruments of his will: and
so long as his own authority remains unimpaired his
own pride of the superior is gratified by every gratification
received by the pride of his subordinates
From the same cause the like wrongs liable to be done by the
several actors other actors in the judicial theatre to
one another, and even to the Judge himself have been left without special notice: so
even those to the Judge himself: to determine his powers
of the functionary on this occasion would have been to limit it: and a natural assurance was that
in the obvious necessity of this case he would never fail to
f behold a sufficient warrant for every whatever exercise of
his undefined power should ever at any time prove necessary for protection
securing guarding his operation against disturbance.
