But a chance there is, nor that an inconsiderable one, that to sentences /a sentence/ pronounced by a Judge without a Jury, no Sheriff no Jailor, no Sheriff's Officer no Hangman will be found that when goods that used to be exposed to sale in execution of verdicts found by packed Juries are exposed to sale under judgments given without Juries no purchasers will be found, that those of the same which now so easily and copiously find their way into the grand reservoir of corruption the current would be stopped

That, in the judgment /eyes/ /conception/ /expectation/ of /by/ those to whom the scourge of torture is an instrument of delight /applied to the backs of the injured/, no hand would /shew itself/ in England be found /as being ready/ to apply it is certain: for as yet it has not been among the imports from Ireland into England.

To the Assembly to which the old man's rupture /was made to/ afforded a good joke afforded /was the cause of/ so much merriment because ruptured and reward[?] begin with the same letter, the importation of the Irish instrument of torture would have matter of serious delight, and to all appearances would beyond doubt have long ago been effected, but for the doubt whether in an /any/ English hand it could be made to do its offices

    A little more, all jails filled, imprisonment will end - juries will not convict. Indubitable the readings, of those who uttered the threat of Abolishing juries, to contribute laws for executing it: so of judges to contribute judgments.

    On the other hand, stands chance that to execute such judgment will be found no Sheriff, Sheriff's officer, Hangman - that goods want to be exposed to sale under verdicts of packed juries will find no purchaser, if exposed to sale under judgement without juries.

    Certain that in the expectation of those to whom the scourge of torture applied to the back so the injured in Ireland was an object of delight no hand would be to be found to apply it in England. Proof in England it never has been so applied. To those whom the old man's rupture afforded so much laughter, the importation of the just instrument of torture would have afforded serious delight, but for the doubt whether any English hand would apply it.

    After a revolution while the authors feel exposed to danger of counter d o. they will forego a portion of the sweets of government for the security in which subjects share. To this in all breasts, with sympathy for people as fellow sufferers and fellow actors, ascribe the difference in people's condition before and after the revolution. But are long, sympathy evaporates, procreation by refractoriness substitutes antipathy. Between quondam sole ruler and his new associates, partnership is substituted to hostility.

    To the new form, sole source of danger the people: formerly, kept in passive obedience by despondency, now accustomed to resistance. To the old yoke is now substituted a new one by which what is lost in weight and immediate afflictiveness is gained in strength & performance.

    This sense which every Scottish Clergyman not to say every Scotchman has, who finds his account on leaving it, why does he not impart it to Judges and to Juries. Error—and even doubt—here would they fly before it! Questions concerning assaults or a real question concerning boundaries—questions concerning a will—a pedigree: witnesses [...?] in a side: and the result is doubt. Verdicts are given and new trials granted. Why? because neither Jury nor Judge has a believing sense.

    and what contributes to fix it is © that how bad soever as compared with a /the only/ government which has ever had for its actual end in view /object of endeavour/ the greatest happiness of the greatest number namely that of the Anglo American United States, it has been owing to its continual comparative weakness, eminently and incontestably good in comparison of every other government that has ever been in existence: and thus has not only been less bad than any other but by that appetite for distant dependencies which has been a main spring /source/ of that waste and corruption in which it has found its profit has under favourable circumstances this bad government given birth to that only good one.

    At this time the quantity of aliment thus converted as above into poison seems to have reached its maximum, and to be even threatened with a decline. But in conjunction with the momentary sinister interest of the ruling few, the ultimate interest of the subject many seems rather to require that it should not decline: but that the endeavours to give encrease to it should continue on the encrease: that to that purpose the correspondent endeavour to give encrease to the force of government should continue on the encrease, until by the strain the whole fabric should burst and fall to pieces, in which case the only good one now so extensively understood would take its place of course

    A little more, and no more victims will be thrown into jail because all jails will be filled: no prosecutions before Juries will be instituted because no Juries will convict for any thing /offence against Government/. The readiness of those by whom the abolition of that instrument of salutary weakness has been threatened the readiness to employ the law in execution of that threat is not to be /can not be/ doubted as little can the readiness of the Judges to give to the law execution and effect to the utmost power.
