criminal individual
on the part of the highest
ordinary Judge.

Notwithstanding Meantime all this, in these same suits
the judicature of a single Judge is not preferable to the<lb?>judicature of four Judges sitting together: for of all the
Equity suits of which the Lord High Chancellor in his
chamber of Equity Judge High Court of Chancery has cognizance, four other
Judges sitting together in the judicatory called the Court of

aptitude by indolence
and carelessness, the
necessary concommitant

Art. 28 For proof of the unprincipledness,
and inconsistency as to their power and inaptitude<l/>and consequent inaptitude
