1826. Septr. 15
Constitutional Code.
Ch. IX. §. 17. Supplement.

Of the benefit derivable from this allowance, such as it is, one substantial and
and highly valuable fruit may serve as a sample. From the Depredationists, as far as depends upon them, the people have
received the greatest boon, were it but the popularity of it hat a people can
receive from the hand of power: the actual liberty of
this the press: and this upon a footing not far short of that on which it stands under a representative democracy, in the Anglo-American United States. Still, of this tower of strength, these people are but
tenants at will, liable at all times, without a moment's
warning, to be ousted of it. And the hands
of which they hold it – what are they but those of
the accent and deliberately declared destroyers of it in British
India? – in that country remote country in which to misrule in every shape it would apply the only sole possible preventive check? While, in England, the Judges, makers and masters of that
Common law which is above Statute Law, are still as
indefatigable as ever in the endeavour to keep
the people deprived of it. Happily, in this case, neither
is the Judge at the same time prosecutor,
nor, so often as it is his wish, can it be his hope, to
behold an instrument that will bring able and at the same time willing to drag the wished-for
victim within his gripe.
