March 1810
Sinecures

There is not an imaginable species of service, the
exis
which in respect of its value as well as of its existence
is not in the habit of being ascertained – ascertained
by judicial evidence in the ordinary course of law, viz by
action in the case evidence delivered in the course of one of the an ordinary sort of action, viz.
an action if attempted or an action in the case.

In that case indeed the party to whom the service
has, it is supposed been rendered, is a private
person, the party by whom it has been rendered, also
a private person; the business in and by which it is supposed
to have been rendered, a private business.

But though in all or any of these respects, whatsoever be the
difference between what is private and what in the degree
and mode in question is public be the difference, yet
as in regard to the point in question there is none.

Be the nature of the business what it may it is only by evidence
that the facts belonging to it can be ascertained: it is only
by the mind of some person or persons acting in the character of
a judge, and as such hearing and pronouncing upon such
evidence – in the character of of a judge, viz. of a judge
acting thus of all exposure to the influence of personal and
sinister interest, that respecting the existence of such facts
any justly proper grounded judgment can be pronounced, any
well-grounded correctly and compleatly founded grounded opinion formed.
