This no libel — wished being here as failing — entology

28 — 11
Cause of the cessation
of J.B.'s
confidence in the
Board — finding it
composed of invisible
and anonymous
Judges

The cessation of the confidence of which the Board had
judicatory to which I found myself a suitor having been
employed acknowledged at the outset — the cause of that misfortune
for such surely it is to a suitor, is by this time I believe
sufficiently intelligible.

29 — 12
A state of anonymousness
and
inability is
conjoined to incendiaries
but
not to Judges

Incendiaries, Spies and Threatening Letter-writers —
such are the descriptions of persons whom we are all of
us accustomed to an observe rendering keeping themselves, or
endeavouring to render labouring to keep themselves, invisible and anonymous:
invisible and anonymous Judges — Judges
whose very existence is dubious are under a cloud constitute a character
which in this country, I am apt to think, may be set down
as new.

30— 12
The compilation
knows no such
Judges.
Westminster Hall
affords none such

Turning to the Court Calendar, and at the same
time in thought to Westminster Hall I observe
Judges, bearing that venerable name, besides two
others who are not the less Judges for not bearing it — all
of them performing their going through the important function in such manner and
form as at no time has could in the mind of any man can have
left any doubt of their existence.

On every occasion on which they do act, they may
be seen to act, and when it as often as it happens to them
to have reason to give, and to be disposed to give these reasons
which is not unfrequently, supporting their acts by giving reasons. To papers
to which their respective minds have not applied, their hands in
a number of instances the multitude of which may indeed
be an object of regret, are applied: but in no instance
to any will or paper, to which their minds are really
applied, is the attestation of their hands, or some other evidence
equally
equally indubitable proof
of the parts really
borne by them
withheld or refused
omitted, to be furnished
made manifest.
