'4 Different ranks

One of the closest ties that can exist /be formed / in the way of more sympathy /sympathy/, is that which exists where a man in passing on to the commanding station of the judge, has passed through, necessarily passed through every one of the subordinate stations.

Very generally this connection in the way of sympathy is found established between the judicial class /class of judges/ and the class of advocates. Very generally, in respect of the fanciful and ruling judicial offices a positive rule is established. No man to be placed in the station of a judge who has not passed through the station, exercised as far as depends upon him the profession, of an advocate.
