§.2. Elucidation
Ætiology & History

§. Ætiology

Curious and instructive in the highest degree would
be the history and ætiology of the Justice of Peace summary procedure.
A few heads, and these in a state of the utmost consideration are all for which,
on the present occasion, either time or space and or space can be found.

1. Whence came the institution of judicature by Justice of the Peace acting,
all the year round at their own homes each at his own home

2 cause the course of procedure on which at the
commencement of the institution when came it that they betook
themselves to a course of procedure now stiled so properly stiled summary and
in consequence of the regular, and forming so striking a contrast
with it?

This had conjunctly if at all
must answers be given to must those two questions receive answer. [+]

[+] Without assurance of
person to his
purpose ready to take
upon them the judicial
office would the originator
of an institution
of this sort in Parliament
have taken the matter in
hand: to himself in the
character of a Justice of
Peace for his County
to himself for one, he
would of course look
in the first instance.

Conditions, without which reception by them nor him would
Only on these conditions would
the judiciary business be taken in hand, of course the following:
be found to be take upon them the business of suit in office

1. That, on no occasion, should they any one of them be obliged
to give exercise to the function unless at that very moment
it were agreable to him so to do. For the repugnance of such a
condition to the ends of justice, see above.

2. That, at no time should it be necessary for him to give to
any one act elsewhere than at his own
home or in some other place equally agreable to him, and consequently
not far distant

3. That, on no occasion should it be matter of duty to
him to proceed, in any other course or manner than he would, if sitting
in judgment in the conduct of his own children or his own
servants, that is to say the course which though thereupon therein lost its name of summary summary: in contradistinction to that
so exquisitely elaborated declaratory
of the failed to which
course which he saw pursuing by
the sinister interest of the perfect
and trading class of
or say trading
judges: a course one
given back not having
tho absurd and palpably
place in any family
repugnant to its professed
whatsoever
ends to have ever been
pursued by any master
of a family sane or
insane.

4. That, for serving compliance with his master he should have, at his command, ministerial functionaries,
sufficient in general for securing compliance with his orders,
on these comparatively public occasions, as affected, on that
on the occasion of his family or say domestic or say family judicature
private that is to say his domestic or say family judicature.
