Ch XII Judiciary collectively
(8 §. 28 Locable who
Non-locable, Advocates.
23
Under present system
more regard for truth
to be expected from French
than English Lawyers Judges
For these reasons, unless there be any thing in the character
of the two nations later at large which affords a promise of compensation,
more sincerity, more regard for truth may reasonably
be expected at the hand of the French, than at those of the
English: more regard consequently under the two existing systems
at the hands of a French than at those of an English Judge.
24
Of all classes of men the
English Judge has the greatest
hatred to justice.
'In the case of an English Judge the of all
classes of men that are any where to be found as far as regards the regard to
disregard to insincerity disregard to truth, love of injustice
hatred of justice the cause of depravity have place and
are the force and operate to a degree as will here be seen
altogether capable incapable of being equalled in any other
country community, modern or ancient civilized or uncivilized: if mendacity is where
has any such use been made: nearly equal equally instant from mendacity as
where any nearly equal profit been derived. If this
instant the corresponding effects find to have place, the cause of its
failure may be looked for in this or that cause peculiar to the individual in this
instance.

professional lawyers they

apprenticeship in
mendacity & injustice

Out of these professional lawyers who have been to for the
longest time habituated — and in each portion of time most
frequently habituated to the practice of profit seeking and
profit-reaping mendacity.
In England the apprenticeship is real and universal.
and the longer it has entwined as well as the more
frequently doing the entwinement of it the complex operations belonging to it
have been performed, the higher the degree of appropriate aptitude
in the pain of the individual is regarded as being
4. In France no such corruptive apprenticeship unless by accident has place
in the case of the Judge: to the class of Advocate has indeed, in compliance
with the -begotten
prejudice been
aggregated, but no professional
practice is
for or commonly has
place
