1823. Feby. 28.
Greece. J.B's Observations &c

As the only effectual preventative of delay, power
to every Judge to appoint Deputies in any number
to sit at the same time with himself for the dispatch
of business in different causes, but let no emolument
be receivable by any such Deputy at the expence
either of the public or of individuals. No doubt can
be entertained of willingness on the part of a sufficient
number of sufficiently apt individuals to undertake so
honourable an office. The having served in such office
might and should be made a necessary qualification,
for the being placed in the office of Judges. The
choice thus proposed to be made of a Deputy should
be declared to the parties and objections received. The
principal Judge should not be sitting at home unoccupied
while any such Deputy of his was sitting
for if such inaction were allowed two evils might
follow, 1 to save his own reputation a partial Judge
might assign the function in this or that particular
case to some connexion of one of the parties who for the
sake of the profit, from partiality, would be content
to submit to the disrepute: 2 The office of principal
Judge might moreover be converted into a sinecure.
In case of sickness such power of deputation is matter of absolute necessity.
