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 seat
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: as if his
Majesty's Administration were a body in which
whatever regard had once been manifested for this
branch of the public service had been overborn by
the irresistible force of personal connection & private
influence.

False as the insinuations would be, your
Lordships will not lightly encounter so specious a
body of obloquy and suspicion: your Lordships
will not break through a decision of the twelve
Judges, your Lordships will not go out of the way,
to meet it. Were justice dubious, the danger of even
appearing to do injustice would turn the scale.

Your Lordships see one course easy, & free
from every reproach: your Lordships see the other
course exposed to inevitable censure and pregnant
with endless trouble.
