London Petition
Morals corrupted
We complain that by the
established system of judicature in
both branches but
more particularly in
the equity branch and
those by whom it is upheld
the substance of the

of devices
to be corrupted

the which feeble clause is
here of obtai8ning a
relief always inadequate

for the benefit of the Judge
and then instruments or
vouchers sold, unsold
to him but upon

In proof of the clAIm
it is unfair for me to
observe what no one
we are assured will have
the confidence to deny
that in consequence of
information extracted
by questions put and
answered by word of mouth
in presence of a Judge

same relative to the
same fact expressed
in the form of a written
and affidavit after a
long course of
and between
a dishonest man and
his professional and
learned accomplice<lb?>is altogether without
reasonable claim to coincidence
Not while all the
doors of the judicature
are inexorably shut
against evidence in this
ill shape they are
kept wide open to information
in relation to the same fact</add> in this its
coarse shape
Why in that

Why: but that by the
Judges and their assistants
nothing little would be
