London Petition

Looking over Surveying the whole expanse of the Judicial establishment
we see the same in the same pestiferous shape corruption triumphant infecting every branch of it.
We behold in it the obvious and compleatly adequate cause of
the suffering and grievance abovementioned afflictive and disastrous effects We
see While retribution in such a shape contributes we can behold then
a moral impossibility of change in any shape but amputation in
the burthen of those afflictions. We behold in the Lord Chancellor
a man who has succeeded in his endeavours to secure himself in p
the possession of a mass of emolument encreases with the number
of distress of the country encreasing with the number of .
. We behold in him a man on the judgment seat used
in the Cabinet doing his utmost to give encrease to his emolument as
from all other sources or from that. When Should he consent to give
up for months only or for a sum ever so much exceeding
mental value his emolument from this impure source it will may
then be in our power possible for us to believe that perhaps it is no longer in his
endeavour to give encrease to their distress: till then it will not
be possible. For with such desire and endeavours suppose a man
occupying such his situation what other course could he take for
the accomplishment of them. Either no public man ever did, or
none can sacrifice his duty to his present interest in its
more sordid shape or the Earl of Eldon has the sinister sacrifice
has all along been and continues to be made, by the Earl of
Eldon.
While men of low degree are declaredly under the dominance
of personal interest shall a man be pronounced free from it only because
self gorged with wealth and armed with purse capable and appropriate skill of pursuing that
sum giving the utmost effect possible to the suggestions of that same
domineering interest:
We beg here in in the face of the contrary to Your
Honourable House that we are not to be imposed upon by any such
pretence: that our eyes are wide open to them and to deliver
what it is the object of them to propagate
