Sinecures
They feel not for one another: they find no
men to feel for them whose view can observe
a hearing.
Among honest men of ordinary honesty the state of
and condition of a party litigant party litigant, howsoever to what degree seems
an habitual state never is constitutes an intended one. By
misfortune each man was brought into it, by exertion
each mans promises to himself, as soon as possible to
escape from out of it by prudence, (misfortune having
to his hopes spent all her arrows,) he promises himself
to avoid be saved from ever again falling into it.
Were he to utter his complaints – were he
ever to succeed in forming a concert of complaints
to whom with any hope of relief should they be addressed?
There indeed sits the legislator: but if
the pace of judicature is slow, legislature is still slower. As
disastrous as his condition is can he form to himself
any conception of it so desperate full of despair, as that he will
not be before the legislator can have arrived for come in to his
relief he shall not in some plight or other have made his escape out of
the hands of the Judge.
