Tit. X

Nat. Assembly Court were fifty of them might all be trying at the same
time, each by a single Judge. The same sort of
men who serve for Commissioners of Bankrupts
would serve for Commissioners for hearing Election
causes. An immense expence would be saved were
saved, were if the Judge w sent down to the witness, instead
of the witnesses being brought up by hundreds to
the Judge. If the House of Commons had not
taken Election causes out of the hands of the
Chancellor, they there would not now have been
a House of Commons. Two hundred years hence
perhaps they will recover from the panic they
were struck with two hundred years ago: and
then they will discover that in their hands ultimate jurisdiction
will answer every good purpose of immediate.
But in England legislators are led by
lawyers, and lawyers have not the use of
reason. The National Assembly who have the
use of reason, and who respect time, because
they mean to make good use of it, have
rid themselves of elections.
