London Petition
Morals corrupted
We complain that by the
established system of judicature in
both branches but
more particularly in
the equity branch and
those by whom it is upheld
the substance of the
is not more unmerciful as scandalously and prayed
upon then their morals
are corrupted
are by all manner
of devices
to be corrupted
that an
in the of plaintiff
the which feeble clause is
here of obtai8ning a
relief always inadequate
is more <lb?>to him without being sold
for the benefit of the Judge<lb/.and then instruments or
vouchers sold, unsold
to him but upon
condition of his defiling
himself at the
by a lessee of his
forced by them into
his mouth.
that which on some
occasion they are
with the subornation
of simple mendacity
on others they simply
not by the like
means, always
for them an profit
to
of perjury

In proof of the clAIm
it is unfair for me to
observe what no one
we are assured will have
the confidence to deny
that in consequence of
information extracted
by questions put and
answered by word of mouth
in presence of a Judge
information in the
same relative to the
same fact expressed
in the form of a written
and affidavit after a
long course of
and between
a dishonest man and
his professional and
learned accomplice<lb?>is altogether without
reasonable claim to coincidence
Not while all the
doors of the judicature
are inexorably shut
against evidence in this
ill shape they are
kept wide open to information
in relation to the same fact</add> in this its
coarse shape
Why in that
shape me in its
worst shape when
Why: but that by the
Judges and their assistants
nothing little would be
got by the receipt of the
evidence in its good shape
which profit
to me amount
is made by the existence of
it in the ,/del> worse shape
or shapes in which
