Radicalism not dangerous 1
§ Rulers disregard English
Institutions
1. Public 2. Appeal
(1)
§ Disregard for English Institutions by those who punish make a crime for disregard
of them in others
Well but these same English Institutions: these
Institutions in which be they what they may, it is a
crime in any part of the project to endeavour to procure obtain
a change — these same institutions, the powers that be
in these same institutions do they hold themselves precluded
in any degree from the thus making a change? not
they indeed, no such thing. In every part of the field
of law, obligation without power on one side, power without
obligation on the other — such is the partition mode of
powers and obligations of the good things of government this world
and of the evil things
Take for example two conjoined changes
two changes made at a stroke: two English institutions
consecrated by the experience rust of age, demolished at one
stroke abolished by one Statute.
I mean these two pretious ones trial by public
and appeal in the case of homicide murder
Well and would you have had them preserved
unchanged? Not I indeed. On both of them I observe the
what as can ever fail of observing stamp of barbarism and absurdity, in the first a demand
for utter abolition, in the other a demand for material
change
But barbarous as they both were, nothing can be
more widely different more opposite than their b influence on the course of
justice; in the one I see an incitement to murder mischievous
in the others a prevention.
