Art. 1. Sufficient of itself
to render the Registrar
the oracle of his territory
will be the bare custody
of such a mass of such important documents

In the natural course of things the Registrar, if his
conduct be but decently apt will be the oracle of his
territory. In days of
Distinct in itself as judicial the power of a judge is from
that of the keeper of a mass of written papers, in days of yore
out of this humble function grew the in many a hand the ruling powers of a in
Judge a variety of forms. In France the King had the making of the laws the judicial bodies called
Parliaments had the keeping of them: out of this custodian
function they managed so as to attract for themselves a sort
of negative in the legislative. In France the functionary whose
function has the nearest however distant resemblance to
those of the Minister of this Code was called sometimes
Chancellor sometimes Keeper of the Seals: so likewise in
England. In England the functionary whose function
as his official name Master of the Roles demonstrates
went not originally beyond the keeping of certain evidence parchment
rolled up into a cylindrical form — this functionary being
of necessity in with the Chancellor was employed
by him as a sort of Depute permanent. In the several
Counties of England the functionary with the title of Custor r who keeps roles is
m the Chancellor Depute does in English
exercises the arbitrary location function in relation to those coupled with
a no less arbitrary dislocation over those creatures of corruption
whose employment it is consists to exercise oppression
in a direct way and depredation in a mumbled or indirect way
for the joint account of King and Ct at the expence of
the helpless multitude. In the City of London a functionary
who shews on an equal footing the authority of the
twelve Judges in the most penal of penal cases is called
by no higher title than that of Recorder.

Art. 2. Under the established
system in which power
