es and gains of the English lawyer alike
of the Bbar, is the lie of the bench. In equity
is forced to lie; on no other condition will the judge

Bentham's Rationale of judicial Evidence
2. v. 143

They are gardeners who readily prepare the ground, and scientifically
plant it with every germ of serviceable incorrectness. They are
nurses who sing a lullaby by which the innocent are set to sleep,
in order that they may drop into an abyss of falsehood
P 193

They are coachmen who will grease the wheels of their machine
with nothing but falsehood, so familiar and so delightful is it to
the
the truth, it is part of the holiness of a Judge, the chosen
of righteousness, to bid him repent of his repentance, and substitute
the face of it a barefaced lie. —

P. 316

The English conveyance beats all other nations out of sight in the
field of legal lucre. In mere keeping up of words he may have
his equal; but, in the practice of what is called fiction — the
most pernicious sort of lying — with the support, and for the profit,

makes a man pay, as for the plain and honest expression of his will,
for a tissue of absurdities that rival Munchausen or Mother Goose.
