§. Lawyers interest sinister
If then on any occasion so it be that by a man
of this description an opinion is advanced to any such effect as that
a law to such or such an effect would be beneficent
for example pernicious or on any other account
ineligible, so far from affording to a rationally
thinking man any just reason for regarding such
law as pernicious, it would as far as it
rather be considered as affording a reason for
expecting to find the law a beneficial one.

Professional and personal
Interest being thus
adverse to public
from a lawyers declaration,
that from a proposed
law relative to procedure
&c as above
the tendency is pernicious,
the contrary
inference would be more
reasonable than the
accordant do.
To regard it as affording any such an inference would
it may be objected be to consider on the part of the
sort of person in question on the occasion in question
insincerity no more probable than sincerity.
No: not exactly necessarily so: the disposition to be discerned aptitude to be subject to deception
being in the case in question no less conspicuous little less conspicuous and undeniable than the
propensity motive to endeavour to deceive produce it.

1. From those habits
of misrepresentation
his own opinion
i.e. of insincerity
which are almost peculiar
to this in comparison
with other classes one
presumption is that
the opinion thus delivered
is not entertained by
him.
But, so far as in the case in question
insincerity is necessary to the production of deceptitious fallacious
opinions nothing can be more undeniable than that
on the part of any man of that profession habitually acting in that situation the existence of insincerity
presents on each any given occasion a degree of probability
far beyond what it can present in the case of
a man in any other situation: the advocate having possessing
in virtue of his such profession and practice, the
faculty of practising without being exposed to disrepute or shame
that vice which another man can not be found practice guilty tainted
being subjected subjecting himself to that in with impunity.

2. Another, that if it
is, he has been deceived
into it by sinister
interest, and
the authority of co-professional
men,
in like manner deceivers
or deceived:
i.e. that it is the
result
