Judicial Estab.
Judges – Number
that house have given very explicit testimony
in favour of the difference in value between distant
suffrages and remote. Were it possible for
King George to know that he was held in universal
execration by the inhabitants of the planet
made over to him by the gratitude of the discoverer
I am there would be but little ground for apprehending
disturbance to his rest. Populus me sibilat at mihi plaudo could only be the speech
of an insensible blockhead: but Populus nos sibilat, at nobis plaudimus ipsis has been the
comfort of many a sense very sensible and in
some other respects very worthy gentlemen in both
Houses.
Numbers then help to support one another against
public censure. A single Judge finding no confederates
to support him sinks under it: or rather
would sink under it: for he will who in his
place would venture upon the experiment?
The wor effect of insulation in softening the temper
just have been frequently observed even in private life.
A man of a hard character who, will brow beat another
in a company where he looks for countenance expects favour will brow-beat
one of an opposite character a man of a different mould, becomes gentle and
unassuming in a téte-a-téte. A single Judge finds himself
in a perpetual téte-a-téte as it were with the
surrounding audience beneath him.
