Reasons Panopticon Bill
reality a dangerous one, would be so in appearance.
So Dangerous or not, it would at any rate be a very invidious one:
and such as on that account nothing but short of absolute
necessity would induce him to assume charge himself
with.
The more dangerous it appeared, the stronger
the checks which it would appear to require. The subsisting
choice was the result of an initiative joint produce offspring of two concurring
power powers, an initiative in the hands of three Supervisors, and a
power in the hands of Commission of approbation, given to vested in the 12 Judges
added to the Ld Chancellor the Speaker and the
first Magistrate of the Metropolis. [+] [+] Such was the body of
controul which was
deemed necessary to
confine within the limits
of justice and propriety
the original and still
subsisting choice: the
authors of that choice The Supervisors
were all of them together devoid of personal
interest: all of them men of fortune: two in
particular men of very large fortune: all two of them
men of rank. A system of checks check controul less powerful
than that which was applied to the original & subsisting
choice could not could not surely with neith any tolerable consistency be applied to the supposed
new one [+]2 [+]2 new choice, by which
that original one, without
any assignable reason
that I know of, would
be to be superseded. It would be setting an inferior
authority to connect the sale reverse the judgment of a superior one.
It would be manifesting more confidence in an interested
Contractor Projector, than in those uninterested and dignified
Trustees.
