Parly Reform
I say but any Judge has any the smallest regard
that for his own interest every new idea and whether these an exception
is what I can not bend to say and what every
one is at liberty to imagine: for thoughts
in liberty.
In the for Cabinet as in its present composition state, as
well as under its last preceding state, to go no higher,
a majority of the Members are and were and are so
circumstanced as to have a decided and ulterior a manifest personal interest in
the continuance of war, so long as it may be possible to
continue it. Of this majority, int he case of two of
its members, in each of them belonging to both cabinets, I mean the Right
Honorable brother and successor apparent to the noble Admiralty
Court Clerk and Earl Camden the Teller of the Exchequer
with a fluctuating mass of emolument depending upon war,
this interest has a sinecure for the its cause of it.
This Sinecurists of two different descriptions
and both of them in the Cabinet, there is a natural
alliance: those whose interest it is that there should
never be any such thing as peace: and those whose
interest it is that for the great majority of the people
there should be no such thing as justice.
As for the Judges – a great part the chief part of whose emoluments
arises out of depends on fees the amount of which depends upon their
own pleasure.
