A lawy

17
Lawyers, Outs
any more than Ins
will not attack any
of the imperfections
of the law.

Considitur, for
reputation or expectation
of power
through party, he
may, as well as for
fees, attack arbitrary
power over the press viz.
in a Judge: — but
only to give it to
a Jury.

A lawyer, even though it be in favour of liberty, the liberty of the press,
and against the abuses and imperfection by which
the exercise of it is left upon the footing of a crime
will declaim, if it be in favour of his party, and with
no less energy than increased energy in addition
to and even greater than that which with which he would have been
inspired by his fee.

But to this exertion it is necessary that the
system root of the abuse should remain unimpaired, and that the only
question agitated should shall be whether it shall be
by the arbitrary power of the Judge, or by the arbitrary
power of the a Jury, packed or unpacked, under
the arbitrary direction of the arbitrary power of the Judge, that
the fate of the defendant, who if acquitted has suffered
in the shape of costs, been made to suffer more undergo a greater heavier mass of suffering than
if guilty he ought to be made to suffer on conviction
shall be determined.

18
He will be as
zealous as any
body to stave
off legislative
definition of libelling,
by which
alone arbitrary
power over the press
can be taken away.

He will be no less anxious this idolater of
the Goddess of Liberty this magnifier of Jury trial, he
will be no less anxious than the lawyer whose lot has
fallen on the opposite side to oppose an
insurmountable to the only remedy of which arbitrary
power in whatsoever hands is susceptible, viz. a definition
by the hands hand of a legislator by which for the first time
it shall be rendered possible for an man English subject to know
beforehand otherwise than by means of an ex post facto
punishment
whether the giving
publicity to such
thoughts as he entertains
in relation
to public measures
whether what that
which
wish to make public
be is or be not a crime.
