Supposing your Lordships not to be precluded left at liberty judgement
by law, in this respect not chained absolutely confined by any legal tie, your Memorialist humbly conceives that
were it merely out of decorum and reverence towards
of character an official an authority which has so much claim to reverence,
your Lordships would at least not be forward to
run counter to, or to pass by set aside a decision in
