182. Septm. 22 Procedure Code Ch. Evidence

The ceremony of administering and taking
an oath is not to be performed without
a sort of machinery, expensive, cumbrous and
not easily portable. For principal operator, there
must be a functionary either on other accounts
possessed of or for this particular purpose invested
with sort of judicial character. In English
Equity practice , a Master, of whom, in the great
Equity Court there are ten, is a highly emolumented,
though subordinate Judge, disposing of property
to immense amounts, under the direction of the
Chancellor and his two immediate subordinates —
the one the old established one under the name
of the Master of the Rolls, the other the newly established
one, under the name of vice Chancellor,
by the influence of the still present Chancellor
Lord Eldon, for the augmentation of the already portentous
mass of delay, vexation and expense,
with proportionable augmentation of sinister
profit, and augmentation of factitious dignity
to Lord Eldon. An Ambassador extraordinary in the Diplomatic
line is something more than an ambassador
in ordinary. In the Judicial line a person
who being thus far acquainted with diplomatic
practice, were unacquainted with judicial practice
, would suppose a Master Extraordinary
in chancery to be a personage of greater power
and importance than any one of the abovementioned
Masters ordinary. How stands the fact?
he is a County attorney, who calculating whose
judicial functions are confined altogether to the
acting of the superior part in the performance of this ceremony.
