?. Functions or Operations of the Supreme Unofficial compared with those of the Official Judicatories.

The several operations contained /included/ in this part of the business of one English Newspaper being thus taken as and for a specimen or sample of the functions of a Sub-Committee of the Public Opinion Tribunal, let us see in what way the mode in which these several functions are there performed by it agrees with, and in what way it differs from, the mode in which those same functions are most commonly performed in and by an Official Judicatory.

To the present purpose the list of them may be /they may be enumerated/ as follows -

1. Receiving claims and accusations

2 Receiving oppositions and defences.

3. Receiving, compelling, collecting and storing evidence.

4. Receiving, and hearing or reading arguments of parties, litigants or advocates.

5. Forming opinions or judgments on do.: with correspondent will.

6. Giving expression to such judgments and will.

7. Giving impression to such expression.

8. Giving diffusion to such impression

9 Giving execution and effect to such judgment and will.

Distinct in themselves are all these several operations and in and by the ordinary Judicatories, who have at their disposal the time of other men as well as their own time at their disposal, as well as the channels of communication at command, they are performed at different times and in regular order /succession/, as above displayed.

In and by the Public Opinion Tribunal, the Members /a Member/ of it not having, generally speaking, either the /any/ channel of communication or the time of any other person at his command, the /these several/ operations can not respectively be performed but as opportunity /occasion/ offers; and when opportunity /occasion/ does offer, it must be made the most of, and the several operations, all of them, or as many as can to advantage be performed, be performed at once.
