Judicial Estab.
Judges – Number
to the weight their influence over the public in virtue of influence on over the public that belongs
to them in virtue of their authority and their
numbers: It is in this way Four, ten or fifteen Judges give therefore
one efficient figure with those nine or fourteen
cyphers, and the cyphers rather lessen than
encrease the value of the figure. Emulation is here
out of the question. Emulation is excited without
fellow-Judges and not by them. It is excited in
one way by the auditors in a double as Judge arbiters, way by the
Bar as Judges arbiters and rivals: devotion, is not emulation,
is the sentiment inspired into the breasts of
a bench of Judges by the presence of a Chief. Observe what
use an Alderman is of at the Old Bailey, or
any Justice but the Chairman in the Law-business
of a Quarter Sessions: What presents The
Judges in Westminster Hall would long ago have
converted sunk into Aldermen were it not for the breasts
Chamber-practice, and the Circuits which restore
them to singleness and independence.
Numbers there are obstacles to exertion: a
single Judge sees no resources but in his own powers.
