Judicial Establishment
an extraordinary measure of intelligence would in
that court of all others be considerable, since none
but causes of uncommon extraordinary difficulty would
arrive there. All this is true: but to the great
point of probity the encrease would be much more
unfavourable than favourable, and the multitude
of the judges would serve there as a cloak for
incapacity and as a counterforce against to the opinion
of the people.
But the material thing point is that the power
of this court, lodge it in a single hand or in
ever so many, must of the members of it are
declared irresponsible and independent of the legislative,
must be compleatly arbitrary as far as
depends upon the terms of its creation. The publicity
of its proceedings whatever moral check it
may apply, affords no legal one.
