Petition for Justice.
1. Case.
XII Juries Subjugated or Subdued.

XII Juries Subdued

1
Originally, not
Not originally was
this device employed:
only the foundation
laid for it. But the object
of the enquiry being
how the grievance
might be removed, this
could not be left unexposed.

2.
History Conjectural.
To narrative must
be substituted conjecture.
By the metropolis
travelling Judicatory,
a Committee
of twelve convened
instead of all freeholders.

3.
Means gradually applied
Beginning where
importance was greatest,
and distance least,
thus the offensiveness
of the burthen would
at first be minimized.

4
Juries troublesome
As to King, House of
Commons so to Judges,

Jurors Juries would not ever those be
troublesome: troublesome sometimes by
intellectual inaptitude,
sometimes by moral aptitude
would be troublesome.

5
Means of Breaking Off.
Means of removing
the class.
1. Nullification, applicable
in civile on
both sides; in criminali,
in favor of Defendant's
side.

XII. Juries Subdued

6
Intimidatn arrogance cajoling
In criminali, in favor
of the King, only
intimidation, arrogance
or cajolery.

7
1 Intimidation
For intimidation, atteint
– was the continual it's atrocity.

8.
Atteint
Atteint then as common
as New Trial
now.

9
2. Arrogance.
Now for arrogance.
By the supposition,
the fundamental and
continually exhibited
supposition, above
consummate knowledge,
below consummate
ignorance.
"The law is so and so"
quoth udge. Whereas,
throughout Common
Law, there is no law.

10
Arrogance – Libel.
Example, libel: every
wiring prosecuted
for a libel or not, at
Judge's pleasure.

11
Libel Ellenborough
Of it's not being, instances
few. Yet not
unexampled. Witness
Morning Chronicle.

12
Arrogance irresistible.
Known to Judge, if to any body, the law
must be: to themselves,
Jury have it
ever unknown.

XII Juries Subdued

13
Decapitator acquitted
Example of deference Deference
the acquitted decapitation.

14
Code the Remedy.
Not thus under
Code: there the law
is. Real law there
more intelligible to
the least than now
to the most learned.

15
Remedy Juries as per J.B
To the existing system
alone apply
these remarks.
Under the here proposed
system, Judges being made effectually
responsible and appeals
universally obtainable,
more power
would be given to
the experienced, less
to the inexperienced
hand. But the power
given to these,
would not be at the
mercy of Judges.

18
And, as to
those parts of the
field on which
the to preserve the
country from

sinking being plunged into the
abyss of absolutism
the arbitrary
power of the people
is an indispensable
however in itself
undesirable security check
of this consideration
has been brought to
view in the subject of .

16
Jury's Perjury.
Those to whom religion
is a laughing
stock, and perjury a
pastime, might give
themselves the enjoyment
of it in some other
way, without employing
it in infusing the power
of mendacity into the
functions of justice.

17
Jury where inapplicable
Altogether unsusceptible
of illusion with a Jury
are a large proportion
of cases, which yet are
not cognizable in Equity.
Sole resource arbitration
after a share attempt
at Jury Trial.
