Mechanical practice
here respected
the Letter (though
the Inspector be
complained of in it)
transmitted
to him of course
for him to act in
consequence — the
minds of the Commrs
never having been
applied to it
In the operations of judicature I have had but
too frequent occasion to observe, [and even not ever without
concern] that a substitute for human desire,
not to speak of human probity, is but too apt to be
found and formed in any by a sort of pre-established mechanism.
In sham injuries a contrivance for carrying
on the operation without need the aid of interference on the part of
human reason was with justice regarded considered, on the score
of economy, as no inconsiderable improvement: but
a mechanism whatever advantage may on the score of
economy be derivable from a substitution succedaneum of this nature kind
in judicature, [+] [+] whatsoever may be the
gain in point of
case and accommodation on the score of justice, if justice be really
be the object — what little advantage I doubt is to be
gained by it.

An improvement of this mechanical nature, is
what on the present occasion I have been led to suspect:
that to on the occasion in question on the procuring to the
subject of the letter in question the minds of the
Commissioners in question — always supposing the existence
of the correspondent bodies, have not been
applied: that in virtue of the respected system of
mechanical and economical arrangements, all such wear and tear
has been saved: that business of the sort in question
and in particular is habitually performed that the individual business in
question was performed by a sort of pre- contribution —
that to the share of the Commissioners
always supposing that existence without which nothing can be
found
