Procedure

Rapine, in some whatever sphere, more especially in the highest
can not collect seldom gather in the whole of the plunder with its own hands.
Neither justice, nor its attendant injustices, being capable of being
administered by the Monarch, to any thing like the extent of the
demand for justice, it becomes necessary for him to turn over
the business, as to by more or less of this sort of business, and at length the whole with here and there only a select chosen exception
to the hands of his retainers people about him, who in proportion as their
occupations of this kind grow into stability commissions required derived stability by from practice, were distinguished
by the name of Judges. Hunting in the name Pursuing the game and for the
benefit of their sovereign master, these hunters of men could
not altogether be prevented from hunting and foraging for themselves.
Some small A salary, though after all allowance made for
the depreciation of money, a most trifling and inadequate one, was
given to each of them, to engage him to undertake take upon him without repugnance
the obligations of the office: but the inadequateness of it is
sufficient proof that it could not but from the first is must could not but have been understood,
understood between his the Master and himself even from the first
that he should be at liberty to make something out of himself the suitors for,
under the name of fees. To limit these advantages or any other profits, or
to limit any thing was not suited to of a of office consisted not in any
respect with the rough inaccuracy inaccurate genius of the age: and in hands to empower, in such hands, cloathed with such powers limitations, had any been
attempted, would soon have been of little use, would soon have been found as pliable
become as flexible as pliant as the first walls of Carthage. Plundering with
the right hand for his Master, his were left hand was no less busy
in plundering for himself. Here then were two modes of depredation,
extortion and peculation, going on constantly at the same time;
extortion in taking from the suitors what ought not to have been
taken from them at all: peculation, in stopping by the way, what, in
so far as it was taken from the suitors, ought in should if right, as far as
contract makes right, have been handed up to the arch depredator general at the
head of things.
