11 March 1810
Sinecures

For collecting information by the hand of power authority the mode course
proper to be
taken by is dictated pointed out by common sense, and in the
practice of parliament the two legislature which ever of the two branches be considered
has not neither been or comparatively speaking in a considerable degree much obstructed by the frauds and fraud-begotten absurdities
of lawyers: for since forasmuch as under the arrangements of
procedure and the rules of evidence, arrangement and rule invented and established
by them for their own profit, it is impossible that
supposing them steadily and consistently pursued society
could hold together a twelvemonth, they are to no inconsiderable extent a great
extent departed from, and in particular as to on this on that sort of
occasion on which it such departure is most necessary they should
depen
viz. that of making laws, and giving force enforcing
to the execution of them in an extraordinary by the authority by which they
were made. By proceeding as at Common Law in the way
were pr made of special pleading, or in that still more
oppressive course mode which as if in derision is called Equity, no
inconsiderable quantity proportion of that truth which is necessary to justice might be preserved from against
disclosure, and at the
same time no inconsiderable
addition
made for the encrease
to the stock of fees: but
as in the meantime everything
would be running
to rush and wreck and ruin
in full drive on the road
to ruin, the entrails
of him would very
shortly be torn out in
the course of the search
thus made for the golden
eggs.

No man by whom information is really wished No man whose wish it is that to receive information
and that information should be at the same time compleat
and correct, and by whom without preponderantly
inconvenience in the shape of delay vexation and
expence it can be obtained at first hand and at the source, ever
thinks of obtaining it calls for prefers drawing for it at second hand: no man who
can obtain sees himself, as above in a condition to draw capable of being drawn sees it as above, obtainable from the fountain
head, were his recourse to intermediate channels.
