Parly Reform Sinecures

Let then that of the poor people who what labouring and suffering under the
oppression – so successful have been the power of sufferers and delusion

can scarce be brought to in the the They have the same oppressors – the same natural and necessarily
to their annuities let the not be less than implacable domestic adversaries: the true real cause of their grievances
to their fellow sufferers and fellow subjects and fellow sufferers has been concealed – concealed even from the eyes even of the sufferers
themselves, concealed by the same arts – and relief staved off by the same sophisms. By the
same arts. Yes, for in
the to this respect so triumphant
have been the arts of sophistry and
delusion, so calamitous,
so almost desperate is the
case of the people that
in the midst of all their
suffering from this cause – a suffering
which in degree has
no example parallel in any
other country, they can
scarce be brought so
much as to suspect
the cause of it.
Deceived by Awe struck
by stage pageantry,
deceived by a system
of interested and universal
and indefatigable
misrepresentation,
they cease not to behold
in those same irreconcilable
adversaries
and interested oppressors
their faithful and
protectors,
their associate in distress their companion in misfortune.

But this reform can not take place without a
previous and radical inquiry till the mischief has
been probed to the bottom by a radical enquiry scrutiny carried
through the into the system of procedure in use in the Admiralty Courts by a Committee
of the House of Commons Commons House of Parliament. Occupied in the enquiry
the Committee can never be whatever it be unless they purposely
turn aside and or shut their eyes can never behold
the injustice under which in the respect in question the
suffering class labours without beholding all other classes
with no other exception than that which is made by
overwhelming overweaning opulence, labouring under injustice in
the same shapes produced in other judicatories by the
same causes.

There will be the time for the friends of the Navy
to show become and show themselves in a new sense, in a double sense
the to be friends of the people: generous, ever generous
to their enemies to enemies, let them not be less than generous
to fellow subjects and fellow sufferers. Let them not
grudge a few well placed words a word or two of support – a few well time and well placed words for to them for when they
do not grudge their blood: to those thefor whose safety to whose protection
they labour with all their might let them not deny
what protection may in this way be afforded by their influence.
If in their eyes the eyes of any of them the exertions of the obscure and unpaid advocate
who now pleads for them be worth a fee, let
them pay it him in the case for which he thus becomes
their suitor.
