the abuses which he bears and and his bribery.

On the part of the lawyer man of law, whatever be his
rank or denomination, there exists every species and degree of interest
that can be requisite to determine him not only not to
engage himself in any such enterprize but to me upon every
other occasion to use his utmost endeavours strain every nerve to prevent
any other person from engaging in it with success.

The effect of making known the state of judicature in
the subordinate Courts would might be to make known its imperfections abuses corruptions: the effect of them being made known its imperfections,
might to the endeavour to apply a remedy, the
effect of such endeavour might be success the removal of them: the
removal of that mass of corruption in which he lives and
nerves and has his being, to the effect of the removal of
a the drop of putrid water upon the animal that bask feed in
it.

The interest in respect of the law is that it should
be as bad, as pregnant prolific abundant in with mischief and profitable misery
and all misery thus generated is profitable, as possible: what whatsoever mischief is produced by it,
the should be kept as secret invisible as possible from being generally known, of (what comes to the same
thing) from being generally referred to the corrupt corruption state of the law as to
its course. It is for this cause reason that the more forcibly
impressed he is with the mischievousness of it in any instance,
the more active and resolute he is in the defence of it: the
defence of it if complained of, and to what is still better
to prevent complaint by rendering it hopeless, to drown beforehand the
voice of possible complaint by an and indefatigable
concert of praise.
