declared on the part of his Lordship had either
never been sincerely given, or if given had

been the true though secret, reason, of a procedure,
for which no other could be found: – as

one law for a Peer and another for a Commoner:
one law for a Member of Administration
and another law for the rest of his Majesty's
equally loyal subjects: as if a suit in
his Majesty's Councils were made to serve as
a protection, exempting the possessor from⊞ ⊞ taking his chance in respect of those common burthens which had been destined by Parliament for any one on whom the lot might fall:
taking his chance for his day that burthen which had been destined
which was meant by Parliament to fall
indiscrimination by law for any one on on whom the lot might fall:
as if his Majesty's Administration were a body
in which all whatever regard for the public service, had that had once been manifested for
been extinguished by the this branch of the public service had been overborn by the irresistible thrust force of
powers of personal connection and private influence.
