1827 Oct. 12
Procedure Code

2 2o
Preparatory Proposition

2 §.4. Justice for all §.3. Judiciary
☞ what goes before is picked off
to Procedure

Judiciary. Undiscontinuedness

13
Closing the Judicatory
doors on any one day in the
year is so far a denial of
justice

That the shuttering closing the doors of the Judicatory
on any one day of the Year is during that day a denial of justice
to all persons whose the cognizance of whose causes
belongs to that same Judicatory.

Judiciary. Undiscontinuedness

14
Matter of enquiry whether
our religion commands the
denial of justice on any
one day in the week

That it may be deserving of enquiry whether
by the author of our holy religion the denial of justice is commanded or so much as authorized
on any one day of the week more than any
other: or the sabbath day or on any other and whether the stoppage or prevention or stopping of
crimes and wrongs of the deepest malignancy be as of less
importance than the drawing out of a pot an ox or an
ass which have fallen into it. Not the 39. This like the Sabbath

Judiciary. Undiscontinuedness

15
Though a Judge may
require a portion of the
year for relaxation no
denial of justice need for
take place the justice seat
to remain empty.

That however necessary desirable it may be that
persons invested with the authority of Judges like other men should have a portion of the year
free to be applied to occupation of domestic
or amusement it follows not that during that season or
any part of it a denial should have place: for as much
as when the during the time that the judgment seat remains
unoccupied by one Judge, there is nothing in the nature of the
case to prevent its being occupied by another.

Judiciary. Undiscontinuedness

16
No reason for longer
relaxation for Judges
than for Clerks or other
Officers

That no reason can be given why any
greater longer continued remission from official labour should be enjoyed
by Judge men invested with the authority of Judges than
by men engaged on their own account in profit seeking
occupations or by public func men acting in the situation
of copying Clerks or any other of the public Officers

Judiciary. Undiscontinuedness

17
Though lawyers may
requre time for relaxation
no denial of
justice need to take place

That however desirable it may be in respect
of the interest and convenience of men a man exercising the profession
of an Advocate to have a part of every year free
to be applied in like manner to the purpose of relaxation it follows
not that for their accommodation during such part portion of time or
any other a Denial of justice to the rest of the community should have place
