§.2 Reconciliation
☞ 28 May Inserendumne? this page.
With this deduction (and as may be seen how large) conducive
to the ends of justice is the institution thus described. Conducive? that
by what means? No otherwise than by this single arrangement, the arrangement
by which to the extent in question the preliminary appearance of the
parties in the justice of justice as it may be stiled is
negotiated.

Reconciliation Committee.
the word is delusively
sentimental: like
Equity, Conscience &c
Plausible is the denomination on this occasion bestowed
upon the officiating tribunal: conatative for compared to
Court of Equity. Court of conscience and perhaps some other
composed as the old Romans used to say of the same meal
Plausible but over the signification of it hangs a cloud.
By reconciliation is meant of any thing the release of a friendly
disposition which like the dispute arose had place according to the supposition between the party
and parties on the two sides. But by the import of this word
the application of the remedy such as is avowedly narrowed to the case of
two friends between whom as ha a sudden ebullience of the
passion of anger has least place: to no case in which a
competition of interest in respect of a benefit whether in a pecuniary or in any other shape
has place.
16
Accidental only
and partial is the
offer professed to be
produced in the mind.
Outward signs of reconciliation at the instance of the members
of this tribunal may have place. True; they make hand: when
embracing is the fashion, they may embrace. But in the
disposition what effect can be reasonably expected to be produced
by this outward ceremony? If by either the other has been addressed
by a vituperative word, or a staff in the face, yes: being informed by
those Judges that he was on this occasion he was too hasty, he may
express his regrets, and there may end the anger of the party aggrieved,
and then the anger of the aggressor. But suppose either
to lose by this means all hope of or means of hand he was
in expectation of, what in this case can be the effect on the reconciliation
or the import of the word?
