Dialogue on the Law and on Laws

Tory Anti Reformist (turning to the Peoples man Reformist — Sir you are

Sir, You are an enemy to law!

Whig Reformist. So he is: I am sorry to say it.

Reformist. By law, if a man means any thing, he
means the law: and by the law if he means any thing
he means the laws: including, or not including
those imaginary and sham ones of which form the contents of Common
Law. True and sham together I am a friend to the good
ones. I am not a friend but an enemy to the bad ones. Sir, (turning to
the Tory Anti Reformist) give me leave to ask you, are you
a friend to the bad ones? And you, Sir? (turning to the
Whig Anti Reformist)...

Tory Anti-Reformist. Mum Mum.

Whig Anti-Reformist. Mum Mum. Friend to the bad
ones? No, Sir: nor to the good ones neither: if by law you
mean laws, and if by laws you mean real ones. Good or
bad I am no friend to the real ones, for they are now all
of them of any use useless, if not worse: as to the sham ones, these indeed I
am a friend to: good or bad to me makes I know no no difference.
So as they are but sham ones: for then they are whatever it good men's convenience they should
be: on each occasion what whatever good men
would have them to be.
Men, men, for me! Give me the men I want, I care
not what the laws are: no, nor what the measures. The
perfection of government consists in governing without laws.
[understand always real ones.] Bad laws are plainly bad:
(and good laws are either bad or useless. This is my
creed.. I I have it from Earl Grey: he got it from Charles Fox. He got it from the deep EarlThere's wisdom for you! do but admire the depth of it!
Grey got it from Charles Fox, and drew it out of Charles Fox & well [+]
[+] diluted it, distilled
it, diluted and
now .... no F ditch
water
now it has made it as clear as the water of F
Ditch. Whigs could not do
visionary and scouless as every thins that any thing that any man can find to say against it. — Ask his Lordship else.
