18 April 1810
Sinecures

From Of the substitution of fixed salaries to encreasable
masses of fees the good tha and the only good that would
follow is the putting a stop to any diminishing
the probability of any considerable encrease to
the degree in which denial and sale of justice
with the attendant train of evils have place at present.

But if by any man those costs are not
considered in the light of evils, with which truth justice can
any such intention design be ascribed to him as a wish
to put an end to them, no such wish having
by him been anywhere declared?

That by this Committee they were considered
in the light of evils is what I can not hold myself
at liberty to assert. For those evils have for their
cause, their manifest and undeniable cause, the
taxes imposed upon justice: taxes under the name of
of taxes, and taxes under the name of fees.

In any part of this Report Is the existence of the taxes called taxes reprobated?
Not it indeed, is the existence of the taxes called fees
reprobated? So far from it On the contrary, the fees are in order
up, and as if it were a surplus flowing
in on a full tide, and solliciting the disposing hand
forming an encumbrance by the exuberance, projects
upon projects are started for the disposal of it,
suppose for dignity rewards for merit, promises of retreat
magnificent buildings edifices pillows for repose.
