Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law Magazine, or Quarterly Review of Jurisprudence, Vol. 15: For February, 1836, and May, 1836 In the next place, although it is true that a small number of Judges may be more likely to agree on the generality of questions submitted to them than a larger number, yet it is no less true that whenever they could not so agree, their dif ference would be more inveterate, and, as it would soon be come generally known, would occasion much greater nucer tainty and dissatisfaction. If the Judges were retained always on the same circuits, different bodies of law and practice would be framed in difl'erent parts of the kingdom. If they changed their districts, each one, having his own method of proceeding in some points, would annually reverse the rulings of his predecessor throughout a great extent of country. But the first alternative would be almost impracticable on other grounds. The political bias of 9. Commissioner, becoming a matter of common notoriety, and made the subject of the exaggerations and mis-statements so eagerly circulated respect ing all topics connected with elections, would entirely deprive the public in his district of confidence in his decisions. Nor would the matter be much mended by their travelling different circuits in rotation, as each would bring to his new employ ment the character in public estimation which he had obtained upon his former one. The tendency of Mr. A.'s mind to wards a strict construction of the Act, the disposition of Mr. B. To relax it, Mr. O.'s high Conservative principles, and Mr. D.'a Whig partialities, would become matter of ordinary con versation, and any one who has attended our Courts of Revi sion will know how much this circumstance would tend to inflame the passions and resentments, the mistrust and sus picion, which are engendered in those scenes of political contest.
