Indirect
Prosecutor
Judge whose amusements to do not allow him
leisure to attend to call for it till it has been corrupted there has been time
there has been time for it to grow have been corrupted, or
at any rate to have grown stale: (a)(a) Of all imaginable abuses it is one of the most enormous
that the seat of justice should be left for
a single instant without a judge to sit in it.
What should we think of a commander who for
8 or 9 monthis in the year should let his army
lie disbanded in the presence of the enemy?
Useless formalities
have grown up: useless officers invested with a secret latent
power of pardoning
have been
instituted to gi go through those useless formalities:
moreover the necessary allegations have become
overgrown with nonsense, which it has become
matter of skill to see through and disentangle
from the sense. Hence From all these causes the conducting of a prosecution
has become a matter of impossibility
to a man any man who has not made the
study of these intriciacies all this weakness & all this knavery the business of his life.
all which must be practis
formalities, which the more difficult
they are to comperehend,
the more
punctually they must
be observed or society
is to be punishment
by the acquitment
of the criminal.
The prosecutor as soon as he has taken it
into his hands has been obliged to consign
it
