VIII. Remuneration.

1. In the here-proposed system, shape that of a fixt
salary: the emolument unsusceptible of any the smallest
addition without effectual exposure to legal
punishment: thence not in any degree corruptive.

2. In the Justice of Peace system, salary, none:—
emolument, not great, but to the whole extent of it
corruptive: namely in the shape of fees, the aggregate
amount of which is not unsusceptible of increase
by similar practice: which increase is a proportionateable
source of corruption to the functionary: in a direct way,
in the shape of income, if and in so far as he puts any of the money into his
own pocket; in the way of patronage, if and in so far as
he turns it over to his Clerk: the corruption differing in
nothing but degree of effective force, from that which has
place in the case of his superiors — the Westminster
Hall Judges — by which the whole of the justice selling-and-denying
system with all its is produced.

3. In the Scotch Small Debt Court system, howsoever
the case may be in regard to fixt salary, corruption;
in an a prodigious degree, has been shewn to be the effect of
the mass of remuneration allowed in the fee-gathering
in No V of the Jurist. This in the present state
of the system; and in this particular the Bill
in question makes no undertakes not to make any difference.

4. In the English Small Debt Court system, — in
respect of corruptive effect, the matter stands upon
much the same footing as in the case of the Justice-of-Peace
system, as above: though, in degree, the corruptive
force is, generally speaking, it may be supposed,
inferior.
