§. 2. False or being the actual end of judicature
§. 2. False, but actual ends of judicature.

The objects hitherto brought to view under the name
of the ends of judicature are what those which seemed the proper,
as in one sense of the word true, the true ends of judicature.

Opposite to those ends stand those which, it
should seem may without much be termed
the improper ends or, in one sense of the word false, the
false: ends of judicature in England at least these, alas! and which will be found to have
always been the under – not to say to be – the actual ends.

In England – in the early ages of the constitution,
reckoning from the Norman Conquest, the one all-embracing
false end may be stated as being the having for
parts its correspondent interests, private and personal, the sinister interest of the
Monarch: his sinister interest, in the several shapes
in which the sinister interest of a public man is capable of
displaying itself, viz. those of which the objects are respectively money, power, reputation
(reputation when operating upon an extensive scale called
) can and may secure constantly ease and
occasionally vengeance.(a)
Note (a)
(a) Possible Names of the respective
interests is the interest
of those purses, of the sceptre
the trumpet, the pillow
and of those who
be
the all-bladder.
Note (a)
Possible, and if possible
not inconvenient names
of the respective interests
taken from their respective
symbols – interest of
the purse, the sceptre,
the trumpet, the pillow –
and, if critic gall can
keep itself in, the gall-bladder:
– For the
corresponding pleasures,
pains, and motives, see the Motives Table hereinafter mentioned.

To the sinister interest of the Monarch, the
negligence indolence and imbecillity incident to that situation,
joined to the necessary industry and comparative mental
rigour of his instruments and substitutes, the Judges,
substituted by degrees as to the interests of the principal
and in a principal degree the sinister interests of those his subordinates:
the seat of the sinister interest thus gradually shifting,
the shapes, of its the in which it was capable it operated, still
of operating the same.
