Extent of fees from
H. of Commons returns

In the returns that have been to the English House of
Commons it may be seen how vast the mass of emolument
is which has b renders the of the self-stiled representation
of the people has been for ages flowing into the coffers of Judges
especially those of the highest order flowing partly immediately into their
own hands partly through the hands of those subordinates
their location of whose situation they have had enjoyed the patronage
Vast and numerous have the been the justices all along drawn
from this foul sewer

In other countries
where corruption in
Justice the highest
it is not equal to
what it is here

In those other countries where the administration of justice
has been most corrupt, none has corruption from the source soared to a
pitch heighth comparable to that to which it has risen and at
which it continues in England. In his other True corruption in any place Scarcely
in any single instance then in any other country has any
considerable fortune been ever made From it of it from the commencement
of the late reign Ao 1760 in the compass of 60 years have has

Report the remuneration if attached to all most of the great offices in the
establishment having been undertaken to be brought to view so injurious
has been the contrivance scarce it is possible to discern the amount taken of any one.
