In this excellent argument we have moreover one
of those exemplifications which are so abundant and extensive,
of their of the Common Law which
on all occasions we hear so much of: the Common
Law viz that part of the rule of action which is made
by a set of lawyers appointed by the Crown King alone, in
contradiction to that other part of it viz the Statute
law made by an acknowledged legislature on the choice
of the members of which the people are not altogether
without their share.

The Common Law that is the Kings placeable
and at pleasure displaceable creatures with the authority power
and under the name of Judges had placed in this way placed
at under the Kings absolute disposal, the whole property of
the state government, with including in it the power of involving in
it the whole property of the people governed: and it was in full
view of the use that for so many ages had been constantly
made of this power, by in the hands in which it
was by all those excellent Judges thus endeavoured to be
secured, that, by the mouth of the excellent Lord Somers of the matter by of the account given of if the excellent Mr Edmund Burke is to be trusted to
(who was not as yet had not as yet repaired intoLord Somers) they thus did what
on the present occasion depended upon them, so to secure
it.
