Under English
system corruption
from this source
established in the
highest degree

Under the English system, corruption from this source
has from the beginning been and still continues to be established
by law. The consequence has been and is — that of all corrupt
systems of judicature the English is the foulest. Here The
foulest whether the qu it will be seen to be whatsoever object be considered the
quantity of evil produced by it, in the quantity of sinister
and dirty profit extracted derived from it.

Sweet is the odour smell of lucre from whatever source derived
so said th Emperor Vespasian in a fable: for only in a fable
could a man impose a tax upon urine. A tax understand
in a direct way. For in an indirect way, namely
by means of a tax upon that which is seen as it is consumed
becomes urine in that way all Emperors and perhaps all almost all
have extracted taxes out of it.

In the English system not only all Ministers, but
if not all at any rate many Chief Justice have extracted
profit, and this using inhaled sweet odour from that same
article, the worthy reformers who with such just well grounded
and not displeasure beheld Justice deriving a
profit from the tap, saw not, or at any rate would not
seem to see that Chief Justices were all the while deriving
filthy lucre from that same no copious stream indispensably corruptive
source
