1825. Jany March 13
Constitutional Code

14
IV. III
Ch. XII Judiciary Collectively

6 §.27. Remuneration
From individuals, none

Attention of the
House called to the
subject by Abbott

Abbot had the courage to point the attention of the House
to this abomination to the corruption flowing from this source: Coming
Under the name of decency necessary regard for kindred corruption
required that over it the thickest possible veil should be spread

Even when this covered sufficient was the to produce a sort of
in some of these offices in which the effects of the quantity of
the evil provided was least encrease. Witness the Secretary of
State's Office.

No effectual measures
adopted in consequence

The hierarchy of the law was not to be so dealt with
that power by which in pretence of judicature the power of legislature
is exercised without limit — without limit either to the
its extent as to the quantity of evil and suffering produced by
it was not to be so lightly dealt with Of indemnifiable
inapt indemnification for every source of profit cut off
they could not entertain a doubt to suitors had been added
to suitors
addition has been made upon addition and was determined
to be made without end. Still however not by any thing
that could decently be given under the name of indemnification would
rapacity lear learned cupidity be satiated: indemnification would not go beyond
actual experienced receipt: and in the power inherent in
their respective office these lawyers saw beheld a permanent
source of endlessly augmentable receipt

Doors of Westminster
Hall; shut against
reform

Rapacity being triumphant all sense of shame extinguished,
consent unattainable, diminution of judicial depredation
and oppression without judicial consent unprecedented at that point
reformation stopt: against reform, in this and any shape
the doors of Westminster Hall in were then and ever shall continue
inexorably shut. Of all corrupt men the most corrupt, down to this day
the English Judge continues to be the most worshipped.
