J.B. to Mallet
4 V. Irresponsibility
Minutes no check

Against the transgressions
taken to be committed
as above B.R. affords
no remedy.

Neither the influence
of such vexation by
an Inspector, nor connivance
at it by
a Board, would be
punished in B.R.

Th
The transgressions disorders if such they may be termed, against for which I wish to see a remedy
are of that sort — that comparatively venial sort — of
and from which it seems to me that I have been
a witness and a sufferer: unwarrantable vexation inflicted by a
subordinate, and after and notwithstanding complaint
left unheeded and unrepressed by superiors.

What remedy does the Court of the King's Bench with its
Informations afford him? This is no case for fine
for imprisonment, for ouster: injunction or recommendation
to be on another occasion more circumspect a sort
of punishment, if such it may be termed, in use in former
days to be applied to offending functionaries by French
judicatories — something of this complexion — a check in some such shape as this is
all the utmost that in a case like that in question, an individual
would think of calling for the infliction of, upon a supposed
transgressing subordinate: on the supposing supposed
conniving injuries, a punishment of a higher
would hardly be expected or so much as wished for:
[but no such punishments are to be found in the quiver of
the King's Bench] But in what part of quiver of the
Kings Bench are any such arrows blunt and tender to be found?

8
B.R. is not in the
habit of regarding
jud vexation judicially
inflicted as
a grievance.

The transgressions here imputed go not beyond the
infliction of unnecessary vexation on individuals: and the
day is yet to come, in which on the judgment conception of any
such high judicatory vexation inflicted on suffered by individuals in
the course of judicial practice will complete an object
deserving entitled in any considerable degree to be the object of its care.
