Objection 1. The
Board is not a
Judicatory.
But, Sir Your suggestion I think I hear Gentlemen saying may or may not be
applicable to the case of a Court of Justice — but
our Commission is not a Court of Justice — it is
a Board — or if you please an Office.
434 — 27
Answer. Yes it is.
It is a judicatory
in which the function
of Plff are combined
with those of
Judge
Pardon me Gentlemen. Your Commission shall
being so compleat a screen, shall be as much of a Board as you please: but by being
a Board it is not the less a Court of Justice — or at
l any rate — to keep clear of ambiguities partes principle — a Judicatory.
It is True it is that it is does not in every point without
exception, coincide coincident with the authorities ordinary
judicatories; with the authorities the idea of which is most apt to be presented
by that name. There is, it must be acknowledged,
something anomalous in the nature structure of it.
In an ordinary judicatory, the level occupied by
suitors, is sure to be partitioned out into two sides or
divisions: one occupied by the plaintiff or plaintiffs in
any number; the other occupied by a defendant or by defendants.
In the particular species of judicatory in which you
sit, on the suitors level, the Defen the plaintiffs side is wanting
defendants division alone is occupied; the plaintiffs side
is left empty: the functions of a the plaintiff are consolidated
with your own; they are exercised by you the Judges.
