Evidence
Between the fabrication sort of forgery attempted behind the curtain, and
the fabrication practiced upon the bench, there is again if it another difference.
The source of profit is different in the two cases.
In the case of the malefactor, recognized as such, the profit reaped
by the deceit, if any be reaped, is reaped from the practical
individual false will in question, from the individual act by
which that false will is has been was made. In the case of the Judge, and
his partners in the inequity, the source of profit is not confined
to any one false will in particular, but the pr stream is put
flows alike from all the suits in which with whatever success,
at the instance of the a false claimant, the making of any such
false will is attempted to be procured.
Not of itself however that of itself this source of profit is not productive enough,
to satiate satisfy the rapacity of the man of law. In another
place this has been shown to belong to the number of cases in
which he has contrived to give provide for himself two opposite
fountains of decision, so circumstanced situated. And on each given occasion from which of them
the decision <add>response of the Oracle shall will be drawn,</add> he will draw his decision, shall, previously to litigation, consultation, that is to appear
sufficiently uncognoscible. In the present case the two opposite
from wh to fan the fountain of technical perversion as above delineated,
he has contrived to keep up in a state of constant readiness fit for playing, the fountain
of real intention. To draw from the one or from the other source
is equally open to the reverend Juggle's device. In addition to
the profit (of which nothing is ever said by any body), praise, which source of
the two sources it shall please him to draw from, is equally secure.
Different Vertices At the different fountains attend two different
Vertices, in readiness eager to crown their customers votaries: at the fountain of
intention, liberality: at the fountain of Technical Perversion,
Constancy. Constancy: Constancy, whose motto is : Constancy the Science housemaid of Jurisprudential Science.
