Minute
Of the case here put by the reverend Judge a part
is that of is dissent in the his supposed character
of a Juryman from the a verdict given which notwithstanding
he supposed pronounced. – But those two
incidents – verdict and dissent – how is it they
could have contrived to co-exist? How is it that the
matter would or could have been adjusted? Would he
have perjured himself, declaring dissent assent by his lips while
dissent lives in his breast? Would he at gone a
certain number of days and nights passed under the torture
have at length fainted under it and so thus by his silence
have given opportunity for the verdict to be on which his
assent exists not ever have been bestowed? or in his supposed
character of Guinea men would he and with the benefit
of an instrument of influence so much more sure would
he have made sure of f producing a degree of obsequiousness
so much more obsequious even than what that which
he is so accustomed to see produced by him in his character
of Chief Judge?
Or is it that instead of fancying himself in the Jury
box, he was for the moment with good Humour, and dreaming of occupying, and not as
now upon the woolsack, but in some other seat neighbouring spot a place a seat in the House of Lords?
There In that assembly, dissents, from majorities howsoever rare, are neither unexampled,
nor (seen there they may be avowed without
perjury) unavowed.
On the principle of the apology made by a Dr O'Meara of the day for pronouncing
the verd before a polite congregation so impolite a word as
hell, an apology may here be due for the utterance of a
word so near of to it as perjury: for, in many a reverend company, the less odious
the thing, the more odious the name.
