Ch. Self-trumpeters §.2. Exposure

M the patch

10 S when in indecision and consequent delay: — to a mind to which no other subject should present to his mind any thing but doubts; any such arithmetical proportion must present certainty.

But where through by indecision that that species of weakness inbecillity which in judicature shews itself in the shape of indecision, the rate of pace of judicature is rendered slack to a certain degree tardy, the utter unfitness of the man for his situation is a matter of fact that cannot by any possibility be a secret to himself: though no other subject that ever came came before him should to him be have been a source of any thing but doubts, yet on this one subject all any such thing as doubt is sure in this instance impossible.

11 In this case not only the nature but in degree of the unfitness must have forced itself into his mind: nor can his strainings to keep less short of the ordinary pace fail of being accompanied with the painful sensation of self-conscious impotence.

Suppose for example that the nature of the causes being supposed the same or both (as in a judicatory or two judicatories having the same field of jurisdiction taking the space of a year or so can not but to any such purpose as the present be the case) the rate of dispatch given by the Judge in question does not amount to so much as one fifth of the average rate The Not only the nature but the degree of unfitness is here by common plain arithmetic. It will be so to any other person to whom the the numbers the numbers should be more must it have been to the man himself on his part no exertion can have been made to reach the ordinary pace or any approach to the ordinary pace without being accompanied with the painful sensation of that attends self conscious impotence.
