Judges Number
19 Plurality is only of use in as far as it induces a degree no chance of publicity Spite of all these reasons, cogent as they feel to
me, I should not be surprized were I to find symptoms an
notions of the necessity of a multiplicity of Judges
attachment to the system of multiplicity still
lurking in men's minds. Why? Because under
the dark regimen of darkness the the multiplicity of the
Judges produced a sort of faint light, a sort
of commencement of imperfect publicity. Suppose but two, each
though withdrawn concealed from the controuling superintending eye of
the public is subject to the controul of the his colleague.
Should they both be iniquitous it is
not natural they should always agree in iniquity.
The Confederacy between kna of the wicked
carries with it bears in its bosom the seeds of disagreement: disagreement
produces mutual reproaches murmurs and appeals
to the world at large. But in this case
on what score account is multiplicity of any use? Only
on account of its tendency to connection with publicity in proportion to and its
tendency to be productive of that effect. In every
other point of view we have found it either
useless or pernicious. The consequence is that it
is to upon publicity that we should trust build for our
security, and discard the other expedient altogether.
