III. Incorporeal field of jurisdiction of a judicatory - extent of the classes

of suits or causes appertaining to it. i.e. of the rights, on which claims may

be grounded, and the wrongs on which accusations may be grounded.

In the case of the /an/ official judicatories, the rights which their field of

jurisdiction embraces are those only of which, proceeding according to /under/

the system of procedure pursued by them more good than evil with reference to

the interests they are employed to give support, may be produced, as supposed

may, it is supposed be produced by their interference: and so in the case of

accusations. By the unofficial Judicatory cognizance is taken not only of all

these of these same rights and wrongs - claims and accusations, but also of all

others in which the interests of the community in respect of the several

individuals included in it are by /are concerned, in the opinion of/ the several

members of the standing Committee of the Judicatory and of its several Sub

Committees as above, are concerned.

It is the ether in which all these orbs move: a medium which may be an unresting

one, but which may at any time become to an indefinite degree a resting one: and

that in such sort as to render them the whole aggregate of them motionless.

    II. Personal branch of the corporeal field of the power /jurisdiction/ of a judicatory

    Under the head which applies to /of/ Members mention has been made of /has been brought to view/ the all comprehensiveness of this branch of the unofficial judicatory compared with that of any official judicatory or judicatories. Not only Sharers in this power but contributors to its magnitude because so many ready executioners of its will are the members of this unofficial judicatory, every one of them. Under that same head has also been mention made of /brought to view/ the faculty it /which in each political community this unofficial judicatory/ has of receiving reinforcements to an unlimited amount from the members of the like judicatories in the several other political communities having place on the surface of the globe

    Compare this element of its power with the correspondent element of the most powerful official judicatory in the same political state: the power of the official judicatory will be still the inferior: no such faculty has it of receiving reinforcements to an unlimited amount from other states belongs to it.

    Correspondent to this /the same/ extent in respect of the number of the individuals of whose power /force/ the power /force/ of this aggregate is composed is the extent of the number of those on whom the force is capable of being exerted. As On the one hand all enter into the composition of the public force; so on the other hand all behold all in a state of subjection to this same public force.

    II. As to the article of /word/ power, ere /before/ it can serve to bring to view in any clear and distinct form the attributes comprehended under it, several distinctions /certain particulars serving as sources of division/ will require to be brought to view namely 1 the several fields over which it exercises itself: 2 the means of efficiency: means by the use of which it gives to itself execution and effect.

    1 As to fields of exercise. To the power of every efficient official judicatory, belong two distinguishable fields:- the local: termed also /which may also be termed/ the /its/ territorial, topographical or geographical field: 2. its /the/ logical, termed also the metaphysical. The /In the/ logical may moreover be distinguished 1. the corporeal objects included /subjects comprehended/ in it, namely the persons and things; 2. the incorporeal objects /subjects/ namely the sorts of suits, causes, or demands of which cognizance is taken i.e. of claims and accusations.

    As to means of efficiency, they are the /its/ means of operating with effect with relation to whatever be the end proposed on the /its/ above mentioned subjects namely on persons, and on immovable portions of territory, moveable things and persons: on things by means operating on body alone, namely physical force; on persons, by those same means with the addition of forces operating on mind, namely prospect of punishment - i.e. of eventual evil in any shape, and the prospect of reward, evil in any shape: matter of evil, employed /applied/ as punishment, matter of good, applied as reward or otherwise: viz as capital. Quere.

    On the aggregate amplitude of these its several fields and means of efficiency depends the aggregate amplitude or say the magnitude of the mass of power belonging to an /any/ official judicatory: in the same elements will be found the measure of the power of this unofficial Judicatory. /of the Public Opinion Tribunal./
