Judicial Estab.
Judges – Number
But numbers are of judges in the same
Court are an obstacle to the enjoyment of the
benefit of appeal, by the encreased delay and
expence they are productive of in each instance
as will be stated presently.
The advantage therefore which numbers
give in point of intelligence over a single
Judge may therefore upon the whole set down
as nothing.
It may be not altogether foreign to the purpose
to remark, that the cases in which there
can be any danger of a deficiency in point
of intelligence on the part of a single Judge
will occurr but rarely. In ninety cases out
a hundred that are instituted there is neither
doubt nor difficulty. It is the power only of Justice
that is called for, not her wisdom. In
nine out of the ten remaining there shall be
no difficulty but what the ordinary measure
of intelligence that may be expected of any man
in that station is quite competent to solve. In
ninety nine cases out of a hundred the stock
of intelligence possessed by to be found in a single
Judge will be quite sufficient without taking
into account the assistance that is to be had
from Advocates and by Appeals.
