Class II

Sinecures of the emolument of which the quantum depends
is put upon varied by a part upon contingencies: but in such sort
that for any thing that appears the amount it is
not liable to be increased or protected against decrease
by any influence or the part of the Sinecurist,
by which, in proportion as it is operates successful
any public calamity will at the same time
or any other proportion by increased or protected
against decrease.

To the mischievousness attached to those of Class I
is added in the case of the Sinecures of this class that
of the uncertainty and consequent excess or deficiency
in comparison with a pension, in relation
to any really useful purpose.
