is scarcely or not at all susceptible of being ascertained
for the purposes of penal or coercive
law, though at the same time not altogether unsuspectible
of being ascertained for the purpose of exposing a man to the cannon of public opinion the world at large.
that (though some of the happiest) appearance When to have been
made to give something thereof

While thus employd, an oath of
office may be
regarded as a
most useful and
irreplaceable supplement to a set
regulations
its use and efficiency may
be of the first importance a be considerably of use neces it may serve at once
as a guide to discretion, as a check upon personal private
interest and affection, and as a buckler against
external sollicitation. Examples referable to the The following is a kind of <add>may serve as an
matter <add>example some of the purposes to which it might be applied in
the present instance. Abjuration of personal interest
and favour in the choice of subordinates - promise
to have regard to active and intellectual
fitness, as well as to moral innocence. Abjuration
of ill will on the one hand, and personal
kindness and favour and external influence and
sollicitation on the other

on questions relative to the punishment
or discipline of a subordinate. Abjuration of
consideration of both kinds - personal favour as well as
personal enmity, on questions relative to the granting or refusal

to be called for, on the present occasion in reg for the use of the proposed Office, the responsibility
will not be shrunk from, nor the trouble
grudged: but at the present conjunction, the season
for such a production of that sort seems in danger
of being premature: the business of the Board
must shou first be fully settled and marked out, before an
Oath of office can be properly shaped to it.
