Parly Reform Sinecures

Money for going into accepting of office, money for staying in it keeping it
money for going out of it parting with it – money for accepting it high office, and
a peerage thrown into boot – what is the line of a service
for the purpose use of which such indefatigable draughts
can be deemed requisite – regularly and ordinarily
requisite?

Judicial, ordinarily and regularly – answers custom:
and "with custom for their warrant answer public
men and all with one voice.

Judicial, ordinarily and regularly: parliamentary,
occasionally, and in some instances.

The three destinations, having respect to the those
grand division of time into its three parts past present
and future, into time of entrance ingress, time of
continuance and time of exit egress have been combined
in contemplation and in effect effect as well as in idea by legal and official
providence. When from the certainty indiscriminate
support of right and wrong a "great character" is to
be bought off in order to be appropriated to the
supposed exclusive support of right, along with with or without the
peerage comes by a recently adjusted manifestation
of public wisdom, the eventual provision for eventual
retreat. The slipperiness of the situation considered, the
slipperiness of the situation and the consequently precarious
of courses continuance of the mass of emolument annexed to
the possession of it – to render the operating of buying off practicable, a provision requ must in such sort be adjusted
as to be ready to apply itself the instant that the provision
annexed to office ceases: and by the expedient of the eventual
provision for eventual
retreat this
desirable and necessary
end object is accomplished.
For
the non lawyer too much
uncertainty never
can be provided: for the lawyer, too much certainty, never can be provided.
