Parly Reform Sinecures

Certain penalties taken at papist

Thus stands the matter, upon the face of those ordinances</hi> which have for their source the supreme power</hi> in the state: viz. that power which is in general regarded</hi> and acknowledged as supreme and to which all other</hi> authorities our subjection and with without exception</hi> are supposed to pay and for the most part really do</hi> pay obedience.

Unfortunately however instances are not wanting</hi> in which a power not like that which Burton</hi> speaks of behind the throne but even considerably beneath</hi> the throne is to certain this and that purposes and those very not</hi> unextensive extensive ones greater in effect than that of the throne itself – and</hi> this is one here may be some of them.

In the present instance this super supreme ultra-supreme</hi> power is lodged in the hands of a Junta, composed</hi> of four "great characters": 1. the Judge of the Court of Admiralty</hi> the King's Advocate,</hi> the King's Proctor</hi> and the Registrar</hi> and by the effective form material and efficient power of the Junta,</hi> the formal power lodged in and exercised by the hands</hi> of George the 3d is to no inconsiderable extent reduced to to the</hi> of a state equivalent to that of Ferdinand the 7th.
