£4,201 is the sum which, by virtue of this Office for which
if it be a Sinecure nothing is done, comes out of our pockets, whether this
paltry sum, paltry as it is, does or not receive the
honour of being received into the pocket or pockets pockets or pocket of
those or either of those Right Honourable and Honourable
persons is to us a matter of very little moment: so little as
not to be capable of affording us any sensible particle of
circulation under the pressure of the £4,201.
Under this an apprehension of this sort case – what (a plain
man will be apt to say) what if those in the series of
those total amounts pounds should sink be found sinking to shillings,
shillings to pence and pence at best to farthings? Before
it had reached the uttermost farthing might it not happen
to us all either in the character of defaulters to taxes, or of
a continued patient, or in the character of libellers if being
impatient, an impatience were to side vent and in vent relief and sympathy vented itself in black and
white, to find ourselves if not all of us under the care of the Marshal
of the Kings Bench yielding adding fees upon fees to the
of noble and learned and interpreter and
manufacturer of libel law that elastic and changeable kind of goods called – at lease in other
custody similarly productive and equally safe?
