Pecuniary qualification
no check upon collusion
between magistrates
and licenced Public
House keepers in
relation to licences

Human nature even if impregnated with piety at the
University of Oxford and with learned doubts the Lord Eldon
is still, is (alas!) still fallible. What if in the present instance
the truth of this adage should prove exemplified.

What if, after greed by any untoward accident one of those here apparent should be found doubling the rent of
a Public House if his father by joining in the grant of a lease
to it and denial of a licence to a House.
Here might be proof wish for legislative : fresh chance
for liberality: demand for recourse to first principle. Comes
now the demand for Justice of the Peace of every description, every
with all monstrous distinction: for Justice of the Peace at large
as well as for Police Justices.

Meantime the ground on which at every step
he is then proceeding, so he is assured by the living
into which he has encompassed himself is the only sure
one. It is the ground of procedure. Look to the public interest
Look to the very small thing as solution between means and ends? No. any such
regard
, visionary speculation — would be any such thought

Peel skreens himself
from responsibility
by means of Lord
Tenterdon

With No such sentiment as that of anxiety need be will he be afflicted
as his scorn of what may befall this fount of his legislative genius
on account of any such plan return for filial piety thus so employed.
To protect him against all troublesome responsibility is Lord Tenter
has ever been and will ever continue to be causing Lord Tenterdon
more especial cares. Thus to act would be to act from a corrupt
motive: and the action of in a situation occupying so high a
level in the seat of office no evidence of corruption as the
of motive will ever be received. In the After a too good dinner
in some unguarded manner suppose him to have said A
good bet this was it not? one rent doubled and that rascal
got rid of? Would Lord Tenterdon do any thing to him for this?
Not him indeed. In time the G not so was man
to himself as to the Gods caries est illes homo quam sibs

Dawn there be is as
no time prior to be to
himself as the Court
of Hou every
each member
of the Squirority to
Blackstone's God upon
earth — whose name is the King himself
at Westminster. Yes
your own interest if
that were all, sacrifice
make sacrifice of it you might and welcome: but not that interest which what is common to us all — to yourself, your fellow magistrate, and your brothers
Such a more expressive and unequivocal signs than word, would be the speech made to him by a Lord Tenterdon. [+]
[+] Nimo auditum pena valu in any case is the rule of

English Common Law in most cases, and most especially
in these special cases.
