would be apt to yield to his efforts importunity, and suffer the
unfit person, notwithstanding his unfitness, to continue
unremoved. Were both powers in the hands
of the Country Gentleman, the difficulty of getting

specific instance of criminality on the part of the
subordinate. The individual — the Country Gentleman

an improper nomination, than the public body
— the Board: but having made such a nomination,
it would, generally speaking, be still
more difficult for him, than for the Board, to
