Breach and abuse of Sovereign trust.
Whether members
of Parliament
should have emoluments
during
pleasure
When a judge has any thing to fear or hope
from persons over whom he is to sit in judgment,
there is danger of injustice. If his subsistence
depends altogether or in great measure upon
such persons, the danger is extreme. In Great-
Britain one of the functions of the members of the
two houses of Parliament is to sit in the capa
judgment over the conduct of the members of administration.
But places in administration must
in the nature of things be places of attended with profit or [of]
honour, or [of] both in one. At the same time
it is highly expedient
at least if not
ab altogether necessary
that
the occupiers of those places should be removeable
extra-judicially & at pleasure [without reason assigned]: because 1.
affairs can scarcely prosper without a real harmony the prosperity of affairs is liable to suffer by any a
want of harmony among the persons concerned in carrying them on managing them :
2. because and judges can scarcely take recognizance and degrees of harmony are of too delicate a
of every such want of harmony :nature to be weighed in the scales of justice. because 2. a
want of ordinary ability may be of very fatal consequence
as on the other hand may the possession of an
extraordinary share of ability be of very beneficial
consequence: and jud degrees of ability are of too
delicate a nature to be weighed in the scales of
justice
