When, this power for as a means of saving
the expence and jealousy attendant on pecuniary situations,
the provision for a remuneration of the
honourary kind was put into the hands of the
Draughtsman, his first idea looking out for a
against the sort of attack, known to
schools and thence to Senators by the name of
quizzing, his first idea was to place it under
the safeguard guardianship of an Act of Parliament, by a non-
obstante reference to the Statute of precedency the 31st of Henry
the 8th. Upon turning to the Act, the gradation was
found unfortunately not to go descen <add>extend low enough, being
confined to Parliament: Out of their walls, whatever
gradations there may be found to exist, rest
on no other basis than that of prerogative. Not
that the Prerogative rules are less determinate or less
firm fixed perhaps than the Parliamentary ones: only, inasmuch as
they are not the work of Parliament, they can not
with so much propriety be specifically referred to
in an Act of Parliament.
If rank were Supposing rank to be given, perhaps as proper a
place as any would be bet at the head of
"worship" and at the tail of "dignity": above
Colonels, Serjeants at Law and Doctors on the
one hand and below Knights on the other: whether a
rank which, like that of Colonel, man vanish with the office, can not could
very well it should seem so in this stage of the gradation be placed with perfect propriety above a
rank which like that of Knighthood is permanent and indelible
produces a change of name and is indelible, would
be a question to be considered.
