4. Partiality on the part of the inferior judicatory is thus
facilitated and by being facilitated encouraged and promoted.
Suppose him partial, and to the side in favour of
which partiality may exercise itself with most facility and
to greater effect, viz. the defendant's side.
He considers settles with himself what in relation to the defendant
or his cause is the prevalent are the dispositions prevailing in the superior
judicatory. If, like his own favourable, he then
after keeping the cause in his own judicatory – as long as
he can without exposing himself to suspicion, sends reports
it – i.e. sends it up to the superior judicatory in this case
viz. to a judicatory in which partiality has as many masks
and cloaks all but one as it has seats in the judicatory has seats in
it. He thereby gains his part, or gives himself at any
rate a fair and safe chance of gaining his part, and without
as the phrase is without committing himself in the least
having decided nothing, done nothing – he is stands compleatly clear of the reproach
and even of the suspicion of having done ill.
If indeed the superior judicatory is clear of pure from partiality,
or infected with biassed by a partiality acting in a direction opposite to
his own, then it is that he cannot afford pursue this
sinister interest but exposing his reputation to a spot more hazard more
or less or less considerable. But there he is in the very case in which according to
the rule above be laid down, it is desirable that he should be.
