now made to receive it, the other part remain
unheard, and are called remanets or remanents.
Six months is the shortest interval
before they come upon the carpet a second
time, that is today if come they do: for, various
are the causes, by any of which they
may be extinguished: deperition of evidence,
drainage of purse, deaths: death, in a certain
case, whether natural or not, not the less
violent because lingering: Offence, manslaughter,
(to-day no worse manslaughter: by Judge
and Co. with their delay, expence and vexation:
substitutes - how safe convenient
and profitable! to poison, Sword and dagger.

Remanets increase and
multiply. Begotten by the remanets of
Spring, are the remanets of Michaelmas.

Eminently instructive
would be a regularly published list of
all of them.

Now as to Town Causes.
There the scene changes. Of delay considerably
less: thence, so of precipitation. For
trials, in the whole of England, with the
exception of the Metropolis, assized in the
year no more than two, in some Counties,
no more than one. In the Metropolis Terms
four; with settings, before, in and after each:
total, 12: and in each of the 12, upon an average,
more days than in an assize –

is innocent or guilty – stays in Jail 2 days
or 182 days – makes no difference: not to
speak of Counties and cases in which the
182 days may be doubled.

Oh yes to Judge and Co. the
time does make a difference: for, from the
difference between the two days and the 182
days, come fees, Jail produces bailing, and
bailing produces fees – Innocent and guilty,
those who can find bail and fees, are let out:
those who are too poor to find either, stay
in. How can it be otherwise? Under
English Judge made law, the only unpardonable
crime is poverty.

Contamination! Contamination!
Between uncompleted examination
and definitive trial, whole days, weeks and
months are rolling on: Contamination thickening
all the while. Complaints of this evil
not sparing: not least abundant by this
or that one, of those by whom it is caused. He,
who can remove the evil and does not, causes,
if not the commencement, at any rate the
continuance of it. Of such contaminators,
the most insensible, the most obdurate, the
most inexorable, the most inexcusable are
they not the legislators?

All Contamination in
prisons – all unintended sufferings in prisons,
all possibility of escape from prisons they
might prevent and they will not. Why will they
not? One word, Panopticon, explains the mystery
