Thus it was, that from so ample a course as this unfortunate connection, thus it was that in the most important of all lines of service
the matter of reward became, became and to the whole amount of
it the matter, the wages of corruption, confirming in creating in the bosom of the Judge an
interest not only acting in compleat opposition to his duty, in compleat opposition
to the ends of justice. Thus it is that whatever little intelligence
and ingenuity was in those rude times to be found in that commanding
station, was directed to that disastrous species of manufacture making
business: to the making giving to the system of procedure that sort of
form and texture which should render it as productive as possible
in the character of a fund of fees.

In our days, the hands of Judges are tied, the eyes of the
part their constitutional superiors, the eye of an enlightened and
public are fixed constantly upon them, and Judges like men
of other quarters, and especially in high place, trained by education
know have to get fires in their bosoms a breach of reputation the preponderance of a bubble over a mass of opulence. In those early rude days, and
far throughout the course of ages during which under the influence
of the heaven of corruption corruptive ferment, the system of procedure was developing
itself and repairing into present that state of rottenness the present state of rottenness
in which it a became as offensive to the Judge was subject
by no rules, was subject to no inspection: no constitutional
superior, or none but what was either in a state of complicity with
him or in a state of sleep, the public people universally blind and
shaped, rapacity in the judicial as in any other station of the Judge as in every other,
not needing as much and wearing none. stalking forth without a mask, stalking forth and devouring
as prey, without a mask.
