23 April 1805
Evidence

☞ 1. Except in the constitutional branch no sinister interest on the part of the
legislator.
2. But the legislator through a necessity originates in ignorance has every where to
the professional lawyer to evict the fabric by the the powers of jurisprudential law.

The interest of the public requires that the evils corresponding
to the ends of justice should as much as possible be averted.

In respect of the construction of this system, of this edifice fabrick
this metaphysical bridge or road, or portico or to the of Justice the interest of the public, to whose people at large, whose
where it ought to have been interest alone ought to have been looked to in the determining and execution of it,
to whose use and convenience alone it ought to have been adapted, may be
considered as the employer: the persons of various descriptions
by whom it has actually been constructed, may
may be considered as the workmen architects, surveyors, labouring hands may or builders. Architect and
Surveyor, the legislator: labouring hands, workmen of different
descriptions, Judges and other lawyers, official and professional all of them acting under the possible potential controul of
the legislator, but in fact, principally in pursuit of their
own views, with very little direction or controul on the part of
their nominal and potential superior.

In the construction of this edifice, the parts taken by workmen
of different descriptions, must it will readily occurr have
been distinguished by very material differences, indicated more corresponding to
or less the functions, indicated with more or less precision by their several official and professional names:
Judges superordinate and subordinate, Scribes and Registers and Office Keepers
of various descriptions, Gaolers, Executioners and other executive
officers, Opinionists Advocates, and Opinionists Attornies and other professional agents advisers
of the parties. Of all these differences notice must of course
be taken as often as the occasion serves calls for it. But as the repeating
the whole list as often as the occasion calls for that being
all of them brought to view, would be an endless business, it will
be necessary on every such occasion to find some collective name by
which they may be all designated at once. Let this collective name
be the lawyer, jurist, or man of law.
