1826. Novr. 22d.
Review of Humphreys.

§ Notaries
Schoolmaster Conveyancers.

16 contind.
Not a step does an
attorney stir without
an opinion from special
pleader without,
within the Bar, or both.
Of expense and delay
correspondent the increase.
What time can be
left for acquiring knowledge
as to the non-litigational
business?

17.
Much better grounded
would be the suppression
of Attorney Conveyancers
than Schoolmaster do.

18.
Schoolmasters ignorance
it depends on
Parliament to cure:
viz. by adopting H's
plan and simplifying
Conveyancing
Law.

19.
Attornies and Barrister's
ignorance, not:
without simplifying
that branch and every
other of the law.
Procedure law particularly:
thus alone
can ignorance be diminished.

20.
Unless he repents, Peel
with his non-judicatory
and pecuniary efficient
cause and test
of aptitude, will grant
the prayer. In the eyes
of these reformists, the
condition of the people,
barred out for the
sake of their Co., from
access to justice is not
sufficiently deplorable,
yoke of depredation.

§ Notaries.

20 contind.
depredation and oppression
sufficiently
heavy unless for further
depredation, the people
are laid at their mercy,
for mere plunderage
on pain of being barred
out from the faculty
of giving efficient to
agreements.

21.
In English bred attornies,
the effects of the
poison injected by the
Judges are exacerbated
by the impurity produced
by the mixture of
the hostile with the more
hostile function.
The non-hostile hand
makes business for the
hostile. To sew dissension
is their interest:
as man's interest, so
will be his endeavour:
No such interest has
the Rome bred Notary.
No where is such sinister
interest conjoined
with power, but
where matchless constitution,
darling offspring
of sinister interest, signs

Schoolmaster Conveyance

22.
Adopt H's plan much
less study would be necessary
for knowing
and applying conveyancing,
than for knowing
and applying English
grammar.

23.
Problem – Required to
produce one honest
class of Lawyers.
Solution Institute a
class Notaries. Conveyancers,
who should
do nothing else.

§ Notaries

23 contind.
As to others, to produce
an honest Attorney,
is next to impossible
a do. Advocate impossible.
A fee-fed Judge, upon
the English system of
Judges feeding, more
than impossible.

24.
In France, in cases
where the wishes of Government
are out of
the question, the problem
is nearly solved as to
them: compleatly, as to
Notaries.

25.
Of my Judges the aptitude
can not fail of
being superior even to
that of the French Judge.
They served their apprenticeship
to the exclusion
defence of right,
not to the indiscriminating
defence of right
and wrong.
Sooner would I go to
the Brothel for a Mistress
of a girl's Boarding
School than to the Bar
for a Judge.
Sooner even to the
Desk than to the Bar
without insincerity
it is perhaps just possible
for an Attorney
to pass his professional
life: without insincerity:
to a speaking
or drawing Barrister,
impossible.
