London Petition for Judicial Reform and against Eldon
We have one at as

depredation
are the
other cases if not
in these
We are unable to
how depredation is capable
of being produced, is
of being committed if it

Attorneys blamed for the
faults of Judges.
Under a form of government
such as that under which
be and
we gave up as
impracticable any such
measure as that of bringing
to condign punishment
those malefactors
to whom to the amount of so
many thousand a year more
has been regularly obtained
by a mixture
of false pretence and fraud and approp
extraction oppression of false pretence
and extortion.
We consent to the landing
them in the possession of
of their illegible , with
that infamy which in prop at the
hands of those in whom injustice
is an object of regard
will cling to their
names as long as they
are held in remembrance.
We cannot in the

We pray, that because
it be for other official
service money be no
longer received in the
false pretence of judicial service.
☞ So go on with the
in which is set in
opposition to duty
We regard as a virtual
practical confession of guilt,
and as conclusive
proof of consciousness
of guilt the act by
which the Lord Chancellor
committed the
function charge of ju pronouncing
judgment on
his own conduct
to Judges of his own
choice. we regard
those creations,
instruments and associates
of his by
whom such a choice
was accepted, as accomplices
of the delinquent, and accessories
after the fact
to all his enormities.
We regard as among one
of the most honourable
testimonies Your Honourable
House ever
received the unwillingness
on his part to
the scrutiny of Your
Honourable and the desperate
determination to
have received such impunity and oblivion and in so
scandalous a measure [+] [+] Regarding this measure
as a testimony
the sincerity of
which cannot be doubted is not exposed to doubt
if in favour of the probity if [+]

that a total designed , and a full and free to the oppression and depredation under the mark of justice will not be expected to be added in the number.

We pray that that
with the
has been produced may
be content at least with
what the law produced.
Self judicature
We wish to
be merited abhorence
and its supporters<lb?>be be merited scorn and
indignation the self-judging
principle:
the principle by which
a man is
judge in his own
cause.
We declare that i
proportion as that principle as under any form of government
is adopted and
, that
government is rendered
unfit is
instead of subservient
to its pretended
end, if so it be
that those same ends<lb?>are justifiable ends.
We deny that it is in<lb?>the power of of force to<lb?>convert injustice into
justice.
we declare that
no man who had any
regard for justice ever
had did regard or
ever could have regarded
such a principle as
subservient to or compatible
with justice.
