To Mallet
(5) V. Irresponsibility
Minutes no check
9
If the responsibility
which signature would
fix upon the subordinate
the Inspector, the effect
is destroyed by the
non signature of his
superiors — the Board
before whom alone he
could be accused.
But the Inspector the Officer you have been complaining of?
there you have your individual your individually responsible
individual, there you have his paper — and there you have his name to
it.
Yes: and were it not for the Board — the Board
which however invisible to other eyes he sees above
them, the responsibility thus constituted might perhaps
answer the purpose.
But as it is, it is pure illusion. Here Indeed
we have see an individual, but an individual who can do
no wrong, his acts being the acts of the Board: if
the invisible and thence irresponsible and virtually impeccable Board.
Antecedently or subsequently, whatsoever it happens to him the visible person
to do, remains of course the sanction of the invisible Board. Left
to himself, being visible would be vulnerable: but above him
str sits a his next of kin, his protecting divinity and he is invisible she is wrapt in
shreds.
