Abstract

The physuical power of the House, as dependent on the quantity of applicable time, hearing already [...?] under the load of business imposed on it by that part of the function of general superintendence which has been habitually exercised by it till of late years, is of course still more decidedly unequal in any ulterior burthen.

But of this demand a part of which has then been forced to overview the quantity of time cabaple of being apprehended[?] to the discharge of it by the House itself, the whole might find an adequate suply in the more ample quantity capable of being allotted to it by the proposed Court of Lords Delegates; a tribunal [...?] of all other business, and sitting in such terms as would render the whole of its official time applicable for this purpose.

The mass of remuneration which on other accounts would, it is suposed, be deemed unnecessary/necessary[?] to be allotted in the members of a tribunal, so [...?] with power, and exalted as dignity, would be sufficient to enable the public to call upon them in return, for a degree of [...?] not inferior to that which [...?] to be habitual[?] on the part of others /other Judges/. And the greater in extent and [...?] the service thus rendered, the more secure would be the requisite deprivation[?] on the part of the public at large, as well as of the coordinate authority, to submitt without regret to the burthen that would be to be imposed by the requisite expence.
