Judicial Estab.
Judges Numbers
With a multiplicity of Judges you must
either forego the an indispensable a necessary security for pro-
-bity as well as caution or pay for it in delay at an enormous
rate. No man ought to be suffered to act in
the character of a Judge who does not make it hold him-
-self bound a rule to himself on all contested points to
ground his opinion upon reasons. But for Without this
the tribunal of public opinion is a
fault for want of evidence. Subjective to this
obligation improbity or indolence must either
give up their objects or see themselves betray'd
by absurdity too gross to pass for genuine.+
+What is more, but for without
this and, judicial decisi-
-ons, though clear free from
suspicion of improbity or
unskilfulness, can scarcely
keep up with the sense of se-
-curity. Unless the ground
of a decision be known,
especially when the rule
of conduct rests upon the
obscure footing of common what is
law called unwritten law
expectation finds no guide
and the same a question after beingmay be receive opposite
decisions in a perpetual
alternative -
and men have no assu-
-rance but that the same
question may at any time be receiving
opposite decisions
