Hence 3 conflicting
interests 1 of the people
2 of the Sovereign 3 of
Judge and Co

Here then were three mutually conflicting interests — and corresponding endeavours.
that of the people, that of the Sovereign and that of the Judges. Of the
people the endeavour would be to part with cause in as little of as they
could minimize the quantity of the stock of good things taken
from them: of the sovereign to maximize the quantity received by taken from the people
him to his use and to minimize the quantity taken from the
people by the Judge and by him the Judge converted to his own
use: of the Judge to minimize maximize the quantity taken from the
people and applied by him to the joint use of the Sovereign
and himself, but of that joint stock to maximize his own
and minimize his partner and master the Sovereigns share.

For gathering a share in
the produce of the people's
labour the soldier
has recourse to force
the Judge to fraud and
deceit.

Having no force at his under his own separate command no force but what
the borrowed Sovereign was on each occasion content to lend him, the Judge in gathering
in his own share of the produce of the labour of the people
found himself thus under the continual necessity of employing
deceit in engaging the people on the one hand the other to make
by their requisite sacrifice of their clear interests. respectively
to his. The extracting has shewn in the produce of the people's
labour force; under the order of the sovereign was the instrument employed
by the soldier, fraud deceit the instrument employed
by the men of law: hence the differing, every where between
the ends of justice which of course were the professed ends
of judicature and the actual ends of judicature.

Hence the devices & jargon of
Judge & Co

Hence the devices that have been seen, hence the jargon
employed in giving expression to them. The jargon however
employed as it has been, on the occasion of those operations by
which what is called justice is has been administered is, in the great universal family no more necessary
to the fulfilment of the ends of justice, than
sub poena fi, fa, or ca. su. or any other portion of it are, or any
private family to the roasting of a leg of mutton, or making
a plum pudding.
