To Erskine or Whig Fallacies?
Matchless Constitution
2
Had I been in Parliament Though the offender had been
my brother or my son, had I been in Parliament at that time
if no one else would, I would have moved for his impeached impeachment.
Not that he would for this any more than any other
offence im by which the people subject when m sufferers he would have
been impeached, or if impeached cour. After Hasting's case and Lord Melville's No man who
has any regard for character will come forward and
say that for any political offence committed by a man in
high office power there is any real responsibility that for in delinquency
where it is most mischievous there is any real
check, or that impeachment is any thing better than
a grievously troublesome and extravagantly expensive puppet shew.
No: not for hope of justice,[I am not so weak.] But
it is for the instruction of the people, and to shew them how
they are governed, and how they are protected, that I would should
have moved.
