Sinecures

In relation to Concerning this proposed Fee fund two questions
naturally suggest present themselves: viz.

1. What are the effects good or bad good and bad, with of which it would
be productive?

2. What were the good effects expected from it – the
contemplation expectation of which was the cause of its being proposed.

In answer to the first question, what I have to observe
is in the proposal plan proposed in question it is connected with
the fixation of emoluments.

Now from the fixation of emoluments would
arise the abolition of the sinister interest above spoken
of – that sinister interest which being coupled with
inadequate power has given rise to a system of judication
by which justice is in every instance either denied
or sold at a most enormous price.

But the connection between this fixation, and
the proposed scheme of throwing of the whole mass of fees into one fund
is purely an accidental one. To the establishment of
fixed salaries it is not not being necessary that any such
mode of taxation should have existence as that in
pursuance of which money is paid in the shape of fees
nor consequently that there should exist any such fund
as a fund composed of fees.
