Influence

P.I

Ch. 2[?]

12

27 Of the exercise by any legal measures of that portion /species[?]/ of the mass of influence which proceeding from the Crown towards Members of Parliament is exercised by understanding over understanding, {or of that which is exercised by will on understanding,} and not by will immediately on will, the prevention by any legal means is neither practicable nor desirable.

28 With the exception of that portion which as per prope[?] is not considerable enough to be preponderantly noxious, Of the exercise of that portion of the mass of influence which being directed from the same source towards the same object is exercised by will in and over will, the prevention by legal means is both practicable and in the highest degree desirable.
