Observations on Mr B's Draught Tit. X. art. 3.
Committee's Draught Tit. II. art. 6.
High Court I allow of no alteration in the to be made by
the Nation-Assembly-Court in the decree of the
Metropolitan Court — I have already said why why? because I do not
mean to turn the National Assembly into an ordinary
Court of Judicature: I have already said why: it
would be the worst only bad Court of Judicature in the Kingdom
if it could spare time: and it has none to spare.
I make no scruple of allowing it to alter
the decree, upon the terms of passing censure on the
author. Even in A prosecution with that for its object is
more than I expect ever what I expect to see happen. As In England
appeals for from the Chancellor [judging in the first
instance to the House of Lords on the ground of
mere error in judgment happen half a dozen several times or
a dozen times in a year: prosecutions impeachments for wilful
bad judgment, as I have said already, never.
The It can do no harm therefore to give this
power: it would do some harm to with-hold it. To
determine that there has been an injury, and that
a wilful one done by a man in high office, and
at the same time refuse redress would be a melancholy
decision and an useless shock to the feelings of
mankind. Injury
