Copied. 32 31
(6) §.2. Remuneration

or 15. To authorize a Judge to exact in
this manner for himself his own remuneration, is to authorize
him to impose taxes to the same unlimited
extent and put the proceeds into his own pocket.

or 16. As well as No less defensible
would be a law authorizing the head of the Army
to pay himself what he pleased for so being, than to authorize
the head of the law so to do

or 17. The head of the Army would not
choose among the among those who are already
impoverished and afflicting those in whom he would
levy his contribution: the head of the Law does
make his cruel choice.

or 18. The head of the Army, to take £10,000
a year for himself would not take more than £10,000 from those on whom he levied the
money. The head of
the Law who takes
£10,000 a year for
himself in the shape
of fees takes (as above,
a vast money licence
as much as £10,000
from those on
whom he levies his
money. (a)
(a) Note

or 189 A tax so called is a
tax upon prosperity: a tax upon the injured suitor — or
upon the injured man, who would have been suitor
if he could but can not is a tax upon adversity

or 20. The legislator who imposes tax
taxes or under the name of taxes establishes
a cruel grievance: the legislator who imposes taxes
under the name of fees establishes a still more cruel
grievance. Now His parallel is only to be found in the
Medical man Surgeon who should take a patient and if in hospital such bed
when suffering under gout, rheumatism or
and flog him for the purpose of being paid for the dressing
of his wounds

(a) Note to No 18

Compare with the those fee authorizing case
(a) [Money] — The tax called Ship money which constituted the
prominent cause of the Civil Wars, stiled the Great Rebellion the S said Ship money tax
could be seen to be excusable not to say justifiable

A subject not undeserving of consideration might
not be whether a rebellion against King Lords and Commons
to
shake off the tax in question
might not be still
more if necessary be ever
still much more justifiable
than a rebellion
against the King, to shake off Ship money.
