London Petition
1
(1
To the Honourable the House of Commons in Parliament
appointed
The [humble] Petition of the Lord Mayor Aldermen
and Common of the City of London in Common
Council appointed.
We the Lord Mayor Aldermen and Common
of the City of London in Common Council assembled beg leave
to call the attention of the Honourable House to the present state
of the Judicial Establishment and the system of Judicial procedure.
Uncertainty, delay, vexation and expence all screwed
up to the highest pitch these are the evils under which in common
with the rest of his Majesty we are suffering — these are
the evils grievances of which at the hands of the Honourable House
we seek remedy.
A sinister interest in direct opposition On the part of the functionaries, official and professional belonging
to the off Judicial department the existence [and direction] of an uncontrouled and at present uncontroulable sinister
interest acting in direct opposition to all/every the ends of justice
this we beg leave to state as the cause, the obvious the undeniable
and the necessarily effective cause of these same no longer tolerable grievances, [and
the state of all-pervading state of insecurity which is the consequence
of them.]
The mode of in which retribution is made for the service of
functionaries in this department, added to the unlimited quantum
of the retribution derived and derivable in this mode and the
compleat assurance of impunity under whatever degree of excess
we beg leave to state as the circumstance constitutive of that
same sinister and pernicious interest.
In the situation of the class of professional functionaries we are
duly and but too fully sensible that this opposition of particular to
universal interest is natural, and to a more or less considerable degree out of the
reach of controul and remedy.
