By this anomaly
the demand for individual
responsibility
is not lessened but
encreased
But For turning this anomalous feature in its favour,
is the Audit Board however the less of a judicatory? By writing
in itself to the functions of Judge those of plaintiff,
does it the office stand the less in need of those checks the utility,
of which not to say the necessity, is so universally recognized
