"It is necessary (another nod) to the good order of society
"and to the reputation and authority of government, that
"this be known (here we approach to a specific meaning)
"known (continues he) and believed to be the case in each part of the proceedings.
Which reflections show, that the admission of
"extrinsic or oblique considerations, in dispensing the power
of pardon, is a crime in the authors and advisers
of such unmerited partiality, of the same nature with
"that of corruption in a judge." — "A crime", indeed?

meaning was when he spoke was speaking of such unmerited partiality?
Did he In an An indiction! forcharging a charge made of the admission of extrinsic
or oblique considerations in any such situation,
would be here expected to find it build good in admirror
or in an information receives as sufficient to ground a rule to show cause?

A sermon in this strain, was it in the nature of
human reason to consider it as capable in any the slightest

of parliament, taking at the same time in two
such pages as the above, as if that be not sufficient in tary
in any other sufficient number of pages, to admonish him
his advisers, aye and his royal self too, that it would be
wrong - aye very wrong indeed for any man to exercise
so important a power, in any other than a right and proper manner.
