31 July 1806
Scotch Reform

But my Lord in proportion as justice and prudence concur
in prescribing the bestowing to them in the character of parties
and counsel par intereste precedence parties speaking both concurr in forbidding
the bestowing to them in the character of Counsellors or
Judges. This won't do. I am decidedly against it: it
will produce more mischiefs than it is possible to foresee –
it won't quadrate with the rest of the pleas – it is unprecedented
theoretical, speculative – wild visionary romantic – impractical
specious but too good for practice these generalities never thrown out but in default of particulars:
by what rule should they be interpreted, if at all worth be
having to? By the rule of contraries. In this way indeed
they may be of use, and no small use, for of two
things they are good these common place objections may be set down as conclusive tolerably pretty conclusive evidence: the wish and the inability to find appropriate
and substantial objections, objections that ought to weigh
anything against the measure.
