the aptitude for it's real
end, inaptitude

2. Proposed System character
Proposed system – Well
intentioned invited
ill intentioned challenged
to point out
it's imperfections, and
to show that after
such particular corrections
as would be
made by Parliament,
nothing better than
vague generalities &c
could be brought agst
it.
3. J.B's Apology at Existg System
Apology for the treatment
given to the existing
system. Sufficient is apology formed by it's inaptitude
compared with the aptitude
of the proposed
system.

Apology for the treatment
given to the Administrators
of it, necessity
of removing the
weight of their authority.

proportioned to the

than what
has been done by their
8. Answer 2

2. The efficacy of the
law depends not on the
estimation in which
the administrators
of the force of it are
held.
9. Cause II Efficacy force not opinion
— but on the expectation
that, in case
of non-compliance,
punishment will be
applied to non-compliers.
10. Necessary to good rule is restraint by the
True, by apprehension
of public opinion, Judges

2*? Say House if remedy less be
Let House consider
whether, to the mischief
from such all
pervading depravity
any effectual remedy,
short of compleat abolition
can be applied:
and whether, refusing to
apply it, House
can be any thing
better than an enemy
to the community.
13. J.B.s Regret as to Judge &c.

without regret can

But by this uneasiness
no sufficient
reason is afforded

it.

2. Of those who wd

18. Disgracement Answer I Necessity
2. As to the lessening
them in pubic estimation,
indispensably
necessary was this to
the establishment of
the proposed system,
if apt.
Answer II Self-regard universal
Nor to this evil are
alleviations wanting.
20. Equality in all.
1. Their conduct, how
adverse soever to public
interest, is no other

that of all other men
in their place: general
prevalence of self regard
even all other regard
being an indispensable
condition to the
existence of the species.
21. Judge & Co. Silence as to interestedness
Judge & Co's silence as
to sinister interest:
when reform is proposed,
never is the need
of it imputed to this
cause: never to any
thing but the difficulty
of the enterprize and
the relative weakness
of human faculties.
22. as
Exclusively intent on
public welfare, regardless
of their own, Lawyers
on this occasion
represented: with as
much reason as Traders.
22*
To the imputation, it is
in each ones power to
substitute
honor: the goo stage the
, and the
are able to reach it the
greater the glory of those who are.
