7 May 1807

When the community is to a certain degree extensive, the
supreme judicial power, wheresoever lodged, finds itself under
a physical impossibility of extending its action to over the
whole mass of judicial suits or causes.

It is thus under a physical necessity of causing
or suffering a greater or less portion of its authority to be exercised
by other hands.

But as in like as to by the supreme judicial power
will if the superior legislative power is and must naturally is ought to be
regarded as the standard of rectitude; so is and ought to
be the will of the supreme judicial power in the eyes of regarded by the
subordinate judicature.

The supreme legislative power being supposed to be happily
and rightly lodged, that system of judicature will be the most
perfect in which the conduct of the supreme judicial power
is most the uniformly being most exactly and constantly conformable to the distinct will of the
supreme legislature, the conduct of the subordinate judicature
is most exactly and constantly conformable to the will
of the supreme judicature.

To secure the conformity, one thing on the part of the
supreme judicature is wanting: viz: the hearing compleat
and constant and timely information of the several proceedings of the
several subordinate judicatures.

In the receiving of this constant influx of necessary information
there is no real and to a degree of particularity
and minuteness sufficient for every practical good purpose, there
is no real difficulty. Nothing but will in and the
expression given to that will is wanting. As often as any will
to this effect any such effect has been conceived and expressed, obedience has been paid to it,
the information furnished,
the object attained.
