1 Jany 1811
Prize 1805 1809" 1805. §. 81

Throughout the whole body of the law The more loosely and in every respect the more ineptly
and mischievously and ineptly penned the text rule
of law is of law is, on the part of persons in authority, the more urgent the necessity, the more
is the plan and pretence for violating it: – and thus it is
that in the instance of those in whom whose power it is to make
it bad, it is the interest that the penmanship of
the law rule of action should be as bad, as the bulk of the people
of whom it has been said said that they have
nothing to do with the law but to obey it, will endure
to see it.

But of those who are not altogether irresponsible
as towards either House of Parliament are those find themselves in
and to whom it does not belong by law to give the force of law to their interpretation
ordinary cases placed above the this one ordinary of the law find themselves there to ordinary purpose thus
cases seated above the law, how much more effectually
seated above the law must be that Judge the members of those judicatories
who to the acknowledged and as well as constantly exercised right
of putting upon every part of the land a suit case which shall
be binding on all other men, and the possession
of a seat situation in which no authority inferior to
the joint authority of the two houses branches of the legislature can cast
censure, add the habit of contravening the law –
of knowingly and wilfully contravening it, and this
without ever hearing so much as a murmur in
the only places in which a murmur would not
from their hands drown down punishment in the head
that presumed to utter it.

☞ Add the interest that all lawyers particularly all Judges have
in common with all misrulers to have keep the written rule of law action
not only as scanty but as ill-drawn as possible. Violation of Statute
habitual among as
the Court of Sessions (see
Reference) English
Judges are practically
arbitrary and above the law
if habitual wilful violence
be a proof of it.
