§.2. Elucidation
Concluding Note?

Right and Wrong
pronounced by 5 Judges

5
3 Opinion signed
by all not the
opinion of all &
not read by all

3. In my opinion it is matter of mendacity whether in
any an instance the determination opinion declared by his signature
to be his is in the instance of any one of the
any one of the cases the opinion signed by all five is by
such that signature declared to be an opinion formed and
entertained by all of them he the case had really been
rendered by any one of them, and in my opinion it
is proportionably probable that in no one instance it was
read by all of them.

Reasons

Why? Of the For this opinion what your grounds?
Answer. They are these

1 Labour of writing
reading great

1. That to bestow the labour necessary such reading wanted to such reading would
consume time and produce trouble

2 No fees

2. That the labour thus bestowed has not any such accustomed
accompaniment as that of a fee to sweeten it

3 No Inducements

4. That for his subjecting himself to the labour no matter
had place in the breast of any one of them

4 If an oath taken to
read this no punishment
for breach of the oath

5, That if, by any one of them an the promissory Oath termed an oath of
Office was taken at the time of his appointment, breach
of this oath not being capable of subjecting to punishment
in any shape the individual taking of it, it is not in the nature
of such oath to produce veracity, or addition
to appropriate probity in any shape

5 Probative force of
opinion delivered by one of
them not so great as
if he were not an English
bar-born Judge

6. That in whatsoever form delivered, the whether as here
the written form, or the word of mouth form there is not
one of them whose declaration in reference to a question of
fact would in any mind operate with a degree of probative
force so great as that of an individual of whom I know
nothing more than that he was not an English Bar-born
Judge. Why? Because this same unknown individual
howsoever insincere how so ever untrustworthy — it may
happen to be, has never been an openly-self-declared profession
of insincerity in the engaged as far as depends upon him in
the constant practice of it, his l means of livelyhood and every
thing most dear to him depending on it and being in proportion
to the number of acts
or instances in which
this habit has come
into exercise.
