half being undue profit divided between
them. Under the existing system, on
evidence in no better shape, are accounts
audited: evidence received as conclusive,
the mere production of a receipt. To Creditor
in this case what difference does it make
whether it be by a forged receipt that he
is defrauded of his money, or by a falsely
asserting, though genuine receipt as
above? Yes, for no such false assertion
is there any punishment appointed
under the name of satisfaction, refunding of the
undue profit, yes. But for this a suit
in Equity is necessary: a suit in which
for the recovery of five shillings, at the
end of five years, or in case of Appeal
ten years, Creditors may have to advance
£500 or £1,000 losing in case of success
a fourth part of the money in unallowed costs. On no better security against fraud
than this have public accountants received
discharges for hundreds of millions of
pounds.

On the ground of any
such Voucher, any such Venditor or
Faber might be made examinable at
any time, and in case of original fraud,
as above, or false asseveration, in the
course of the examination, punishable

the virtual pardon of the whole gang — this man

Another use to Judge and Co.
from the all corrupting ceremony: the Shilling
per oath received for the administration thereof,
the shillings in front, with pounds in many
cases, in the background. Hence, patronage
with the reference to the situations in which this
profit is received. Considerations, these, by no
means to be neglected: what is there that is
ever overlooked in the account of fees?

Another case. An instrument
in the hand of hypocrisy — an instrument
to cajole a Jewry with — is another
character in which the ceremony is of special
use to a Judge. It forms a charm by the
fence of which transgression in every shape
is rendered impossible to him. Gentlemen
of the Jury. You are upon your oaths: I am
upon mine. Mine calls upon me to do so and
so, quoth the ermined hypocrite: and comes
thereupon whatever happens to suit his
purpose. On any adequately great occasion,
appropriate gesture — application of
hand to bosom might give increase to stage
effect — speaking of a noble Lord as having
been saying so and so — "My Lord" (said a
Judge once) "he smoke that sacred tabernacle
of truth — his bosom" — Your Oath? What oath?
