18 July 1806
Scotch Reform

From the effect with which the proposed and any like every other plan of reform
will have would operate upon the passive faculties of the man of
law, upon those faculties parts of his by which he enjoys or suffers
law, follows the effect it will cannot but produce upon his intellectual active
faculties – upon those faculties from by which on which any useful advice and or assistance
that could be looked to from that quarter would find their source.

No my Lord – of all the learned persons to whom on
a subject in which no superiority of talent can place a man above the need the continued need of advice
this occasion Your Lordship has looked to
there is not one who by whose the interests, prejudices and
habits of his whole professional life do not urge engage him to
deceive you, do not impose on him the necessity of doing
what depends on him by in the way of advice, by in the way of information
towards rendering the plan abortive.

Between the official lawyer and the professional lawyer
though in this respect there is certainly some difference, yet there is not
difference enough to prevent them from acting on the same side
I suppose indemnification: indemnification carried as far
as the nature of the case will suffer it to go. Observe then
the situation of the official lawyer. The men that may
be indemnified – compleatly indemnified – {may and
will are not will never be understood to be quite synonymous)
nor himself and his colleagues: the men that can not be
indemnified are his familiar among his most dearest intimate friends: friends in all the
shades and vanities degrees of friendship, companions from youth
upwards – dependents relations looking up to him for countenance
and patronage.
