Pecuniary qualification
established in the case
of Police Magistrates
& in that of ten Justices
of the Peace at large
not in that of the others

Of ten Police Magistrate Justices of the Peace the
to find them the pecuniary qualification in possession of even at once sufficient and insufficient:
So in the case of ten Justice of the Peace taken
at large. In the case situation of Justice of the Peace for to the
whole County for a County Nothing less than £300 a year can henceforward
be sufficient. In the case of a Justice of Peace
whose local field of judicature extends out beyond a town
not a halfpenny a year is necessary may be more than sufficient. When
a this difference thus established? Is it not then? Of the
breeding connection in the case of the Town Justice the field
is a few hundred thousand yards in diameter, they are in the higher
state of condemnation concentration: in the County Justice case: though in an
arc of from fifteen to fifty miles chambers are different and
diluted those of a County Justice. Miscellaneous Administrated functions different
Judicial functions both in at single seated judicature, and in the many
seated judicatory the same

Conclusion

Conclusion
Thus in the beginning: so in the continuation: so in
words to the end of this fund produced of legislation power and superior words.
As in was in the beginning so it is in the continuation so will it be the
end of the career of this of government: at
hice omnis.

Use of the pecuniary
qualification none shewn

Qualification if not in a the pecuniary shape it is necessary
ten Justice of the Peace should have. But to what end?
for what purpose? on this head then we are left by him the sick. Is it
for security for power of resistance against these temptations
to which indigence stands exposed? No assuredly. For
as to his having any such thing as a morsel of
shirt to his back or a morsel of bread to eat nothing
in this way is at all requisite. What is sufficient is
that he has a father who has £600 a year and that
if his father has children of more than one he be the eldest
male: a Mother and two or any greater number of brothers
and sisters he may have to share with his father this same
£600 a year: for against preserving him from temptation from
moral corruption in every shape the thought of the £600
a
a year of his fathers
life is short enough and
his own long enough
he will one day have
or in the judgment of
our legislator quite
sufficient.
