Supplement
§.2. Elucidations
Ætiology and History

The case is that as between single seatedness and
many seatedness, subserviency the quickest subservient to the
main ends of main justice depends on circumstance: principally in
the degree of national civilization. That in every department of government
publicity of the is a security without which
all others will be ineffectual, in a proposition altogether incontestable. above
dispute But to the efficiency of this secuirty it is not necessary
that the witnesses to the persons to whose cognizance
the exercise given to the power is subjected, should themselves
be sharers in it: on the contrary, for another reason
it is essential that they should not: for as much as for as the
number which by the encease of such sharers encreases actual responsibility and
the sense of responsibility diminishes: [+] [+] while by from encrease
in the number of sharers
the force of that check
receives diminution
by from encrease in the
number of observers who
not be are not sharers
in receives encrease.
In other words, in In the naturally constituted Public Opinion
tribunal, the number of the seats can not be too great: in a
legally constituted judicial tribunal, the so long as number of
seats in the Public Opinion Tribunal opinion is sufficient, the to a certain degree abundant
and well informed, the number of seats can not be too small: number one being
in truth the only number defensible. But where the Public
Opinion Tribunal either has no place or fails of being adequate as above
in quorality or quality adequate competent many seatedness in the legal Tribunal constitution, a succedaneum how
so ever and and inadequate, a succedaneum to a single seated legal
Tribunal with a Public Opinion Tribunal to watch over it

In the Ch small numerous and local Judicature
which the Norman conquest extinguished, and the which, in principle
of which are in and by the here proposed system revived, — the power of the Public
Opinion Tribunal salutary power of the Public Opinion possessed the
utmost degree of efficiency, which, the degree of
while printing was unknown and even writing rare nay
even reading rarer, of the state of society admitted
of.
