As Judge an accomplice
in the above acts no other
Legislators who by their
votes contribute to
maintain this state
of things
To the case of the Judge by allow who in this way
has been an accomplice in all the crime so produced as
above substitute the act of the legislator who by his
vote speech or influence has contributed to confer on or secure
to the Judge the power so employed: here we
have another such accomplice — an accomplice in all the
crimes of all sorts and sizes which in the taxes so imposed
have had their efficient causes. Stand up
John Lord Elder, Earl of to tax Lord High Chancellor, as well as Member of the House of Lords like a show one of or any one of their
propositions there be any thing that is untrue! Stand
up, and inform us in like manner. Robert Peel the so
called Right Honorable too long Secretary of State for the Home Department,
and Member of the House of Commons! Stand
up, professed reformists whatsoever be your name; who
in the exposition exhibition of your alledged plan of reform
have either proposed in positive terms that the practice
of exacting fees for judicial services or in a word for
business done by a public functionary of any class in
the course of judicial procedure should continue, or have
passed over in silence this so undeniably and manifestly
efficient cause of crimes the most flagitious in
countless multitude! Accomplices as you have been or
will have been — Judge, Legislator, professed Reformist — each
in your field of action, can accomplices in can anything
better
better than mental
blindness, where perspicacity
was a duty,
have exempted you
from the imputation of
being willing ones. a
