6 Aug. 1808 *28?
To Mallet
*28?
42 — 25
The Chancellor
the highest Judge
acts under the
virtually obligatory
custom of giving
reasons — and
is thus individually
responsible.
Hence, no one
who should have
a complaint to
make against
a Master would
regard his cause
as hopeless, how
favourable soever
the disposition of
the Chancellor
towards the Master
were known to
be
To contrast the case of this close judicatory with
that of an open one — [and an open one a comparison
with which will not be accused of having been
chosen for the purpose of dishonour. — ] supposing
that the conduct a Master of in Chancery, having in my
conception formed equally strong ground for a sinister
complaint, I it had been matter of consideration
with me to present it or not present it to the Lord
Chancellor, between whom and the Master to make
the case the stronger, a very particular intimacy and connection
shall have been known to subsist —
Would this consideration would it have debarred one from making the
complaint? — By no means. Any expectation of
success might in any desire have been the less sanguine
the necessity of exertion on my part for the purpose in stopping
the torrent of opposing hostile proposition constituted and strengthened
by pretend sympathy and sinister interest would have been
more manifest and more urgent — but instead of
being damped or smothered, my exertions being stimulated would rather have been
strengthened by the circumstance.
Why? Because there sits the head of the law
with the eyes of the whole law and of the whole people
under the law upon him — and the howsoever by
injustice he might would serve his dependent friend, by the same
injustice he would endanger and disserve himself.
