Sinecures

By By the good Howard, I am well aware, the
sale of those offices instances of oppression and extortion being practised
in virtue of an office thus description disposed of being
brought to light,(a) (a) ☞ In a Note, give the story of Judge Gould the sale of them by the
by the Judges by whomat whose hands, from whom while the profits of the mischief were
protected and by them, the prevention of it was expected,
was stated as the cause of the abuse.

But by the sloak thus left by the good Howard
shall no time be suffered the abuse, he in vain laboured
in vain to which, shall no man be screened than it was
his wish to screen it.

What the good Howard did see at was the
abuse: what in his situation man could not see
was the depth of the abuse and the depth which, to
root out the abuse, it would consequently be necessary
to give to the remedy.

Howard was not a lawyer. Howard had
not been an Attorney General. Howard was rather Never had Howard either been either First
Lord of the Treasury nor or Chancellor of the Exchequer.
If, having filled any all or any of these offices, Howard
had then come out with a proposal for preventing
the abuses of the law by prohibiting the substituting
the gift of law offices to the sale of them, the plans of
Howard would indeed have inserted that neglect, with which,
by those whose it sinister interest, coupled with adequate power,
they found in opposition to them, they have so long been
treated.
