Excerpt from Murder: The Case of Lieutenant Wark The land of Judge Jeffreys in matters judicial is in a peculiar position; the masses and the uninitiated are convinced that our law, if not the acme of perfection, is very near to this desirable condition, and that the administration of the law is in the best hands; that any improvements which might be required, in altering an antiquated system, are in due course effected by our legislators. Lawyers know better, but they have every reason to be silent, and the honest counsel agrees with Mephistopheles: "I know what science this has come to be. All rights and laws are still transmitted Like an eternal sickness of the race, - From generation unto generation fitted, And shifted round from place to place. Reason becomes a sham, Beneficence a worry: Thou art a grandchild, therefore woe to thee! The right born with us, ours in verity, This to consider, there's, alas! no hurry." We English are worse off in this respect than other nations because the hypocritical spirit permeating and poisoning every branch of life has also entered here. We continue to admire where contempt, or at least inquiry, should take the place of admiration. We have to contend with a rotten system and with the ingrained cant and hypocrisy of which judges less than other mortals have freed themselves. The honesty of English judges consists mainly in their incorruptibility, their inaccessibility to bribes. The (in other civilised countries unheard of) power vested in a single judge, the imbecility of a common jury, and the prejudice of the justices constitute a real danger, and miscarriages of justice are more frequent in this country than in France or Germany.
