29. or 17
Mischievous
A less dangerous power
would be that of
feigning the justificative
on extenuating circumstances.

30. or 18.
Mischievous Jury operating
Recently, of this power
the effect has frequently
been produced.
Not indeed by a fiction
of the Judge, but
by a fiction of the Jury,
at the recommendation
of a Judge: 10. as
20. pronounced less
than 2.
Mischievous Judge Subornes
In the Judge, this
was not mendacity
but subornation of it
in the shape of perjury.

31. or 19.
Mischievous in Civils
So in Civils, Judge
might give to every
body the property of
every body.

32. or 20.
Use to Judge Evil consciousness
Use being none of
the practice, for what
purpose but the abuse
do you adhere
to it?

Use to Judge Evil consciousness
Such being the purposes

Use to Judge Untrustworthiness.
In such Judges, bill
for prejudice and
weakness, never could
the people repose any
confidence.

35. or 23.
Use to Judge Untrustworthiness
What rationally grounded
confidence in
men, who either think
or pretend to think
that wilful falshood
is either necessary or
subservient to justice?

36. or 24.
Use to Judges Untrustworthiness
In men who are
continually punishing,
or professing themselves
desirous to punish
in others the
criminality they are
themselves practising
without shame.

37. or 25.
Inconsistence with Challenging
See a man actually
in it endeavouring
to be in the daily
practice of mendacity
for hire, yet ready
to challenge any man
who imputes it to him,
to try to kill one another.
and this man, when
Judge, ready to punish
any man for any
such challenge!!!
