The author of a very modern book of French
practice(a), (a) Ravaut, Cours raisonne de pratique civile a Juris 1788. p. 322. citing Domat has given defended the
infringement of this right by reasons. What makes them

which Advocates and the retainers of the Law all
over the world would be equally ready to give on
behalf of the same oppression, and the only ones as good as any
that could be given elsewhere any where.

him, what should hinder him from doing the
same thing by a Judge? Is there any thing
belonging to the station of a Judge which should
preclude him from that Dis measure of intelligence
which is supposed to be the no man in the character
of an Attorney is to be supposed to want?
