- . "' W ^ have no doubt , ' says the Edinburgh , ' that a set of rural Judges in the pay of Government [ sic in orig . ~ ] would very soon become corrupt j (^ bers and odioire ^^ iyrftntsy as they often are on the Continent . '* " Here are three objections to , JoSil Ju 3 ges—rthe first , and one of the most formidable , is that they witl be * rural fudges ;'—rural Judges , as Polonius would iterate—Good—that * rural' is ridiculous . Let us have no Judges liable to ^ he epithet rural . ^ Andthey will riot < ral y be ri $ r $ fJudges , which is bad enough , but they will behv themalj qf Gov&rtftneht ; and
though it is J&o objection > to town Judges that thfcjp a * e > in ^ th £ pay of internment , yet it is an insuperable one to Crural Judges . ; > ¦ ¦ ' - r ^ The Frenchman ^ according to Joe Miller , having ; observed that an E % lfthman recovered from a fever after eating a red herrifig , administered one to the first of his fellow-countrymen whom be found labouring under that disease / arid having found that it killed him , npte ^ in his
tablet that a tid herring cures an Englishman of a fever , but ft kills a Frenchman . So weniust note , according to the EdmbuirjgJi Reviewer , that pa ^ is who ^ oine for Judges in town , but it is tM fbt ^ Judges in the country . Pajr inJdWn is esteemed the very salt x ) f ^ fefce , the'preservative of horiesty , which keeps the meat sweet and wholesome , and causes it to set the tooth of calumny and time at defiance . There is the Chancellor EjLdon , who holds out toughly , like a piece of old junk . What has made him such an everlasting officer ? The salt , the pay . When we want to make a good and competent authority , what do we do
witji hhn . ? Souse him in salary ; pickle him well with pay * The : other day , how we improved the Judges , by giving them another clip in the public pan ! The Chancery Commissioners , too , when they wisl ^ e < L to secure the conip ^ tence of certain officers , what did tliey recommend ? A good salting ; five founds a day to fit them for business ? But ' pay , thought « ure £ great Judges , corrupts small ones . The KevieWert says so , and we must believe it . A little pay , perhaps , like a little learning , is a dangerous thing , and-we ] must dip deep or touch not the Exchequer qpvmg . ^ r i ,: .: > . y . . . ..... , , . ¦ ;• ¦ ' is ^
