II. I come now to the case of the Governor's servants: and if
there be any real security in the supposed division of
power and consequent sec check or will upon will or man upon man there be any real security
against abuse, it is in the situation of these subordinates that in my as far
as appears to me view of the matter, it may be looked for, rather than in that
of the principal.

Though the person to whom, in pronouncing concerning the
fitness of the goodness and in consequence concerning the admission or rejection of the articles supplied, it belongs to act
in the character of a Judge is co necessarily and constantly
in a connection with the party, this is not the case with
his servants. Though the Judge be almost necessarily a
corrupt Judge, yet no corruption on the part of this any man or any
other Judge will of necessity have the effect of the
members sealing up the lips of his subordinates in the character
of eventual witnesses. To this they will not can not naturally
make indeed it can not naturally be expected of them
that they should any one of them venture upon any such decided opposition to his

dissatisfaction at the treatment they are given as to the points
in question to the prisoners: at least so long as his situation

and this in quitting his service all fear of his displeasure
would being of course be at an end, nothing is more natural than
thus they should give the first finest loose should be given to their
tongues.
