28 Decy 1806
Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

Be pleased, my Lord, to observe, that it is only in
case of mala fides on the part of the Judge, that the danger
of injustice from this arrangement can with reason be
set down as deemed the amount to anything. For suppose danger of
misdecision only only, simple misdecision, pure from mala fides,
the Judge below may be trusted supposing the point given him, for taking such measure
of precaution as shall in case the event of misdecision,
so pronounced by the Court above, shall prevent the mischief
from being irreparable.

I find some difficulty in conceiving that Court of
justice, be the Judge ever so mean and ignorant, on whose
part such mala fides can with consistency be presumed.
At any rate, of no Court can it be presumed but of that
of the very lowest and least untrustworthy class whatsoever that
be.

But in Scotland – in the Court of Sessions, my Lord?
in England, in any one of the great Courts in Westminster Hall
is that the supposition of that sort and degree of untrustworthiness for a
single moment so much as endurable.
