30 May 1804
Evidence

In This state of things was a very hotbed for sinister
interest: it shot up presently to its full growth, and killed
every thing that was under it but itself. Such then was the condition of the
suitors in relation to their Judges: collectively they were co-legislators;
individually they were slaves. Between Master and
Slave it is needless to talk of fees.

On the part of persons thus armed to tell lies to justify to condescend to employ a lie
as an instrument of justification
for the purpose of justifying what a man had a mind to do,
seems almost a superfluous trouble. Such however was it
seems their condescension: and thence came that precious instrument tool
of pretended justice called Fiction of which we shall
see such use they made by their successors in
all countries but no where with so much effect or delight
as here with us in England, as in the country which vaunts itself boast claims against
above all others the praise of possessing the purest justice.

Salaries were equally out of the question. Salaries are
the produce of taxation. Regular taxes there were none: the Judge
has nothing left to ask: the body of the people the suitors had nothing left to
give.
