Hence it was is my Lord for example that when for the purpose
of the day a mass of documents was called for – and
that mass incompleat, and by its incompleatness fallacious
and by its fallaciousness fallacy inurious, injurious to the judicature
of our sister kingdom – no English lawyer of the
many by whom your Lordship was encompassed – neither
meaning the advocates, nor yet among the opponents of the
measure, could prevail upon himself to speak a word
towards the filling up of that injurious gap deficiency of the existence
every no lawyer, unless rendered stark blind by
could have escaped avoided from being fully sensible. Silence
inaction, negative conduct is all I can here speak of.
But being much known by those documents that make themselves
known to all of us. As to any positive and active
for exertion employed for the purpose of supposition,
every thing of that sort, if any thing of that sort there has
been is covered wrapped up in well-suited darkness, and bids defiance
to all such scrutiny as mine.
