1828. Decr. 16.
Petition for Justice.
1. Case.
V. Oaths Jurymen

or 1. Object Sincerity
III. Jurymen's Oaths.
Here object of ceremony,
securing sincerity
to the verdict.

or 2. Means Death
In one verdict all
must have joined,
or die by an excruciating
death.
Death! of no such
death had even example
place.

or 3. Mischievous Consequence Perjury
Consequence – perjury
more or less as often
as opposition of opinion
has had place, with
degrees of probability
infinite in number in.

or 4. Object perjury
Object protection due of
perjury.

or 5. Object perjury
Else, to each liberty
of declaring his opinion
would have been
left: no promise exacted:
especially backed
by a sanction
irresistible.

or 6. Mischievous Consequence Under Power
The verdict shall be
determined by the
strongest stomachs.
Such is the law acted
upon and enacted
in deeds. Enacted
in words it would
convict of insanity
the legislation.

or 7. Mischievous Consequence Perjury
Instituting this practice,
the Judge, in some
age of darkness, instituted
subornation
of perjury by irresistible
torture.

or 8. Religion proved weak
Effect on religion, demonstrating
the inefficiency
of the religious sanction absolutely,
and in comparison of the political
the legal: present torture,
ending in death
on one scale: future
damnation, beginning
with death, in the other
in no instance has
the non-religious sanction
failed to preponderate.

or 9. Cause Proforation
This one fruit of
ancestor-worship
and immorality and
folly worship in high
places.

or 10. Subornation
Concomitant with
perjury in all
men is subornation
in all Jury directing
Judge.

or 11. Subornation
Not sufficient this
constant subordination
without incidental
special do.
Witness intrigues to
undervalue stolen property
to save the guilty
from the punishment
of death.

or 12. Power-Stealing Policy
Known Ruler craft
and Judge craft policy.
To establish
an illegal and thence
mischievous power,
begin with applying
it to the production
of some narrow beneficial
and popular
effect.

or 13. Inconsistency Judges
Keep to your oath,
says the English Judge
one moment: break
it the next: be praised
on both occasions.

or 14. Inconsistency Petty Crime
Petty Jury and Grand
Jury: opposite the supposition
in the two
cases. Evidence on
both the opposite sides:
difference of opinion
none.
Evidence on one side
where difference of opinion
will have place.

or 15. Beneficial where
Not that we wish the
unanimity, even tho'
accompanied with the
perjury, shd in all cases
be abolished, especially
regarding as we do
the guilt of the perjury
as ideal.

or 16. Beneficial where
of the power of the
Jury, the effect is a
veto on any law they
choose to apply it to:
and of the
with the torture, to
give to the strongest
stomach the power
of the whole.

or 17. Beneficial where.
So adverse to utility
and public opinion
are some parts of the
rule of action – Statute
and Common Law together,
that, till they
are abolished, better
they be thus frustrated
than carried into effect.

or 18. Beneficial where
The whole law suppose
beneficial, a veto
on it in these or any
other hands, is a nuisance.

or 19. Beneficial where.
So maleficent some
parts, that by taking off
the veto not improvement
but ruin would be the
consequence. Witness
political defamation
treason, sedition.
By existing Judge, absolutions
would be established.

or 20. Mischievous
Evil, power of to apprehension
of future punishment in
every perjurer who believes
in the guilt of
perjury.
