Secret If the in any cause whatsoever the seal of secresy
was kept inexorably fixed upon it from beginning the commencement
to the conclusion without its being in the power of any person
to break it, there would be an end of all
liberty and all justice: for under that cover
any thing whatsoever might be done: and it
would be as easy extortion and every kind of
oppression would be just as easy to execute as
the purest justice. Put it in the power of any
one interested to dissolve the charm take off the
seal [+] [+] who for the purpose of making performing his appeal before the tribunal of the public wishes so do to do, liberty and justice are as perfectly secure the ground upon which now liberty and justice
stand now is as firm and solid as before as before they stood exposed their destruction was
it was hollow and auste insecure. inevitable.

It is evident mo easy to see why the power
should be reserved till after the last instance. Till
the opinion of the Judge t in dernier resort has
been given, no man can tell whether the judgment
will be such as to give him any cause
of dissatisfaction. Give a man the power of taking
off the seal of secresy at an earlier period, he
will be tempted to produce the mischief of publicity
in cases where his object might equally
have been attained without it.
