Parly Reform Sinecures

See Cobbet Reg's 5 Aug. 1809. ☞ N.D. This must come after – doing justice.
§ From the injury to Naval Suitors in the Prize Courts
relief to other Suitors.

The sorrow of those great characters is indubitable.
For my own part I know not whether to be glad or sorry.
Like them I have my cause In the cause of their sorrow
I partake with them, but I on my part have my
cause though not the same cause for satisfaction.

I under Under whatever government Whatever be the government, if in a
certain number of persons a misfortune to a certain amount
must fall, and that not in its nature an irreparable unpreventable one, the more powerful or influential those
persons are the better. Why? not merely because the welfare
of a person in power him who possesses power or influence constitutes a less part smaller portion of the general public
welfare than is constituted the welfare of him who possesses neither power
nor influence, but because the greater the influence of those
on whom it has already fallen in any past instances, the
greater the chance there is of its being coming to be prevented in future
instances.

It was on this principle that in his Economy Bill
Edmund Burke grounded his order of priority preference for the
payment of public functionaries.

It was on this principle that when some nuisance
or other dangerous to life, and within the cognizance of
the municipal City of London authorities were had been pointed out, and the a
intimation of it was thought conception formed that the intimation given of it had not been sufficiently attended to, it
was became the declared wish of some lover of mankind zealous philanthropist
that some Alderman might be the next victim to it.

But the nuisance might number some Alderman
some Common Council-man, or some other such City potentate
among its next victims.
