1827 Aug. 5
Procedure Code

3
Prefat
(3

Female Chastity Code
12 Procuresses

For a Female-chastity-securing Code a Committee
or Bench of twelve Ladies Procuresses
and a Jury of twelve Matrons applied to this new and more
extensively beneficial purpose

5
Sinister interests
of all these persons not
great than that of
Judges against the
true ends of justice

No pick Burglar House breaker has an interest
in preventing the abolition of housebreaking, no Highwayman
in preventing the abolition of highway robbery. no
pickpocket in preventing the abolition of pocket picking
no sinecurist or other Master in Chancery or other swindler in preventing the abolition of the practice
of obtaining money on false pretence. no Lady Procuress
in preventing the female unchasity — no such
practitioner has male or female stands
engaged to resist the abolition or curtailment of his or her means of livelyhood
by an any interest comparable on part of magnitude
and intensity with that which an English Judge
has in preventing preserving the rule of action from any
change in from which human misery would be lessened and his own profit
which with so much impunity and success has been so
intimately and inseparably interwoven with it and
rendered proportionable to it.

6
No restraint upon
Judges but that opposed
by those who have a
community of interest
with them

The J Westminster Hall Common Law Judge
in different groupes — in some instances collectively in other
severally shared among them, as they can agree — possess
and exercise a power of making law of making that which has the bad effect
without any of the good effect of law ad libitum without
any constraint but that of the legislature which is in league
with them by a community of sinister interest, and leaves
to them the charge of exercising depredation and oppression
in cases in which fear or shame or inadvertence would prevent
its
acting operating to that effect
by its own hand.
