Judicial Establishment

These Justice-managers as I have said before
were very stupid men, wherever they had not some
interest of their own to sharpen them. To give all the
process instances that are to be met with of their stupidity
would be to give the history of the law. As the Suitors
were neither their sons nor their servants, so neither
were they themselves. The province of the Jurymen and
theirs were distinct provinces: they could not be
kept too much. Whatever Jurymen did, was not
for them to do: whatever was done before Jurymen
was not to be done before them, howsoever truth
and justice might depend upon it. Such men as
Juries were admitted to hear, they were heard admitted
to hear vivâ voce in a natural manner vivâ
voce: therefore Judges therefore if they had anything
to hear were at to hear it in any other
manner than vivâ voce. Such so happy was
the understanding between the Lawyers on raised to the Bench
and their brethren at the bar to whom in those days
they might be sent back again at any time, that
all other voices became in inaudible unintelligible to them. They
could hear no parties: they could hear no witnesses.
