1825. Decr 12 Constitutional Code Ch. XII S.5. Number S.5. Anglici VII..4 23 An Art. Bad for rectifying honest errors, no other imaginable Judicatory can be so unfit. 1. Members the vast majority ignorant of the Law, destitute of appropriate knowledge. 2. Destitute of judicial aptitude by indolence and carelessness, the necessary concomitant of preeminent opulence. 3. Thence also destitute of appropriate active aptitude. 4. By extensiveness of private connection preeminently exposed to corrupt partiality. VII.5 24. Art 24. Obligation of attendance none: those alone attend who are brought thither by the influence of some particular and sinister interest. VII.7 25. Art 25. Instead of being confined to the alone extraordinary case, there is not a case or in non-penal matter that may not be brought before it, if the party who loses in the next subordinate Judicatory has ability and will to bear the expense.

S.5 Number S.5. Anglici VII.8 26. Art. 26. To crown the absurdity, the Chancellor has the direction of this Judicatory of which the chief occupation is the sitting in judgement on his decisions: a complete mockery of justice. VII.9 27. Art 27. For proof of the utter unprincipledness and inconsistency as to this point, and consequent inaptitude of the practice, any further detail is needless: and the excessive complicatedness of the machinery renders it impracticable. VII 10 28. West in COnts Art 28. Think of four Judges in the King's Bench taking cognizance of a hodge-podge mixture of civil and penal suits: for a Common Pleas, of a scrap of a hodge podge of Civil suits. Exchequer, of another scrap of another hodge podge mixture. VIII.11 29. Art 29. For the most lengthy penal suits, a single Judge, with a Jury sufficient every where but in the Metropolis: necessary there, a Judicatory, composed, in addition to the Jury, of a mixture of Lawyer Judges, and of Non- Lawyer JUdges, both in variable members, attendance of or non-attendance governed in all but one by individual convenience as in the House of Lords.

Ch.XII S.5 S.5 Anglici VII.11 30 Just Peace londs Art 31. Think then of the Justice of Peace Indicatories. Number of seats in some cases one, in otherstwo, or a greater number, as it may happen, as in the Petty Sessions: this then partly for immediate cognizance, partly for appeal - in Quarter Sessions an unlimited number: in all the Judicatories, the Judges acting under the corruption produced by other parties powers, incompatible with the Judicial Code. and by sinster interest, of all sorts, which the power enables them to promote The eye loses itself in the labyrinth by this chaos. VIII.1 31. Art. 31. Unavoidable entangled with the matter of the Procedure Code is the discussion on an this point: further it can not has been brought to view.
