Elucidat:&c Petitions
Supplement
§.2. Elucidation
Concluding Note?
While these pages are writing comes in a House of Commons
paper intituled
Right and Wrong
pronounced by 5 Judges
as a Revenue Act
1
Determination of
Commissioners in what
cases right or wrong
Instances in which the "determination of the Commissioners is pronounced "Wrong" are in number — — — — — — —
Instances in which the determination of the Commissioners
is pronounced Right are in number — — — ——
Well then the determination respectively pronounced by
these presumably learned persons are they all right or all
wrong or in what proportion in the one and the other cases.
2
More likely right & wrong
not improbably wrong
in every case
Not having any more than probably in a large proportion these same presumably learned
Appellate Judges perused these same cases or so much as
a single one of them, any su I am not qualified for pronouncing
any adequately grounded opinion or answer to this question. But were
it under these circumstances by any means rendered it necessary for me to pronounce
an opinion in one way or another it would be to this effect
More likely right and wrong, not very improbably
wrong in every case.
3
Ground for this estimation
1. Decisions avowedly
sometimes according to
merits sometimes not
Well: but on what grounds?
Answer: On these grounds
1. The person by whom these appellate determinations
are parsed who are indisputably and self avowedly in the
habit of pronouncing decisions indiscriminately and with equal
confusion on grounds on the merits according to the merits and on ground
not according to the merits
4
2 Judges 5 in
number — thence
no responsibility
no responsibility
2. Because on each occasion they are linked together
five in number: by which concatenation effective responsibility
is completely destroyed: be the decision ever so flagrantly
absurd, on no one of all five does any imputation
fall: to on no one of them all does will public opinion pronounce a
judgment of evasion: to in the check of no one of them all will
the colour, in the breast of no one of them all will the
sensation, — the pain of shame — be produced.
