Defence

Nothing would be To those who be the power added the
honest inclination nothing would be easier than such a
change. In itself the judicatory is formed upon the simplest
and to the purpose in question the best adapted model.
It is not encumbered with a plurality of Judges: it is
has not the encumbrance of a Jury: nor, unless there
a plausible pretence, nor even with that advantage a
sufficient ground consideration had of the relative ignorance and prejudice of
Juries for clogging it for the benefit of learned eloquence and eloquent
gentlemen with that encumbrance.

In one respect the time would be in a singular
degree auspicious. Never has there been, never is there likely
to be a Judge in whose decisions, his singularly extensive knowledge
sound judgment and strength of active talent considered, pressed as he would
be by the change, he would be of all sinister interest by the change itself
the public would have repose be more generally and
justly disposed inclined to repose implicit place the necessary confidence.

One thing however would on the occasion of any such such a change
one thing however, were it but to be tried, would to a Judge man
in his that situation be in an eminent degree of use: and
that is, a draught of the river Lettin of water of to enable him
to forget his technical learning, the peculiar sort of learning
with which a man becomes impregnated by sitting in
that place: the sort of learning which drew upon him the
admiration of Dr Arthur Browne.

So far as have concerns learning – technical learning –

of all corrupt and matter to improve bring his mind understanding
to that degree of purity in which it would be upon a level with
that of the intelligent Commissioner
of a Court of
Conscience or an
acting Magistrate
who has whose mind
has not been seized with
any such unfortunate
propensity ambition as that of imitating the of his learned and reverend superiors.
