Sine Cures

As to the fitness of any of those great characters for
their respective high situations I am as far from being little disposed
as I find from finding it needful to contest it. In the instance
of Lord the Earl of Hardwicke Lord Mr Percival with
the assistance of Lord Ellenborough has established it
beyond all power I dispute. Questioning it, though
but in an oblique way was one of among the crimes for
which your Mr Cobbet I see was prosecuted, and
Mr Justin Johnson ruined. I have read your
trial Mr Cobbet, it has in me produced the impression
which I would not but have been intended: and so long
as the great character by whom with such force and
clearness the state of total law has been laid down
continues to expound and to declare it, I wash my hands
of all such presumption as that of drawing out
attempting to draw into question the fitness of one that
or any other great character for their high and respective
situations.

Now of to these great characters it had not happened to get But if they had not got those windfalls, what
would have have got instead of them? – Just nothing, And why would they
have got nothing viz. beyond the salaries attached salary and other emoluments<
to the office/del> mass of emolument attached in the shape of salary
and other shapes to the office – a mass which had
been fixt upon as an adequate provision remuneration containing
at the same time an adequate provision for whatever
demand could be made for any of those good purposes,
and at the same time a sufficient remuneration so far as money was concerned, for
all such services as it could fall in a man's way
to render, in the execution exercise of the functions attached to
that same high office. Any why is it that they would not
have had anything more? – Exactly because they did not deserve, because
they could not have deserved, anything more.
