In England in the jurisdiction of Justices of
the peace where sum summary justice is allowed
it is given with less reluctance to two Justices
than to one. [where anxiety for the efficacy of
the laws predominates the business is they
trust the business with one: where anxiety for
the security of the individual predominates, they
to it.] This The preference is very altogether reasonable:
and nothing less than inconsistent with the preference
I give to one. A single Justice has no Judge of this kind
trouble about judges in the dark: he sits
to find in his closet: he may sit, if he pleases, in his coal-hob.
if he pleases. He judges in a thousand instances
without appeal: and there is good
reason for that too: for the costs of appeal
would frighten prosecutors: and the law might as
well not be made.
