By Every English Westminster Hall Judge upon his elevation
to the Bench on a sort of Oath or performs the ceremony
of taking as it is the phrase is called an Oath, to which on occasion
of parade he makes reference, for the purpose of causing men
to regard back up his suppose that he considers him as entertaining the a notion of his being by it laid under
restraint: a notion which such is the futility of the discourse never can have had place
in any single instance. By every one of these wilful falshoods
which by among lawyers bear the name of fictions, this all
if it amounted to any thing would have been violated:
if then the oath amounts to any thing, every use made
of any such fiction involves in it the crime of perjury.
For this crime, a man who has no such impunity as
that attached to the office of English Judge is by an English
Judge liable to be sentenced, as many have accordingly been
sentenced to the pillory. But if degree of mischievousness be considered the
standard the crime of perjury so called in the case in which it
is designated and recognized by that name is a venal crime, compared
with the crime of fiction coining when as committed by a Judge.
If the Judge by whom the first fiction was coined been sentenced
to and suffered in the pillory, the pernicious plant might thus
have been nipt in the bud. But Unhappily that together with every other
instrument of punishment was at his own disposal, and
there was nobody to sentence him to it.
