18 June 1804
Procedure

In England at the present time the welfare of the governed
in their capacity of suitors if professed to be sole object, and
at the worst in a very great degree at least is the object of the part taken by
the monarchist head of the state, and his advisers, in the administration of what
is or was by the name is called justice. Enormous Wide as well as pernicious
would be the deception, if we were suppose this view such considerations of the
subject prevalent in the early ages of pr jurisprudential history.
The Century after century, in the mind of the Monarch plunder was to the mind was the
end, judicature the occasion: justice, the collateral accidental result,
the collateral accidental and unheeded
strength from other
causes happily the more
frequent result, was
never not the end, and scarcely
so much as the pretence. If a Baron or Knight (for any a man of
inferior account was not worth listening to) asked applied made application to the King
for his assistance against any other fellow vassal, the first question
was – what will you give me? according to the answer justice
was pretended professed, or not so much as pretended professed to be administered.
Under the reign of a John or a Henry, how should any object
more honourable than plunder have been so much as professed,
when for ages afterwards, those whose office it was to put the
fairest outside upon the conduct of the sovereign their Royal Master, knew no better
reason to give for the commission given to one of his retainers his sending their out his retainers to
for commissioning Judges to hear the complaints of suitors, than the convenience of saving of his own nerves case
from being sounded by their noise?(a) (a) The amplicus ignis undiamus. In Hughes Bowman .

A William or Richard or a John would no more have
felt himself hard by being looked upon as an extortioner thought of repelling the imputation of his being an extortioner
in practice, than a Homer did, at being
taken for a pirate.
