Supplement.
§II. Elucidations.
§2. Small Debt Courts.

VII. Qualification in respect of moral aptitude,
in so far as depends upon term of service.

N.B. For the exclusion of appropriate moral
aptitude dislocability at the arbitrary pleasure of
any single functionary or small part of functionaries,
is of itself sufficient: it is an instrument of
evil in every shape in the hands by which the
power of dislocation is possessed.

1. In the here-proposed system, from no one of
the situations in question, dislocation, without judicial
and public proof of inaptitude in some determinate
shape, has place: but as to the inaptitude: when it has place, the proof of it is inverted
with every useful facility, by the exclusion put upon
all truth-excluding rules of evidence.

2. In the Justice-of-Peace system, at the hands
of the King dislocability completely arbitrary established,
consequently moral aptitude, is, as completely as by such bad
law it can be, excluded.

3. In the Scotch Small Debt Court System, that not
yet ascertained found ascertainable.

4. In the English Small Debt Court System, neither
ascertainable nor worth ascertaining. Circumstances,
any one of which suffices for rendering inquiry
unavailing are — the gratuitousness gratuitiness of the office, the
multitude of those among the individuals among whom the power of it is
divided, and the absence of smallness of the temptation to give
abusive exercise to it.

VIII. Remuneration.
