THE AGRICULTURAL INTEREST
关注小说网官方公众号(noveltingroom),原版名著免费领。
The present Government, having shown itself to be particularly clever in its management of Indictments3 for Conspiracy4, cannot do better, we think (keeping in its administrative5 eye the pacification6 of some of its most influential7 and most unruly supporters), than indict2 the whole manufacturing interest of the country for a conspiracy against the agricultural interest. As the jury ought to be beyond impeachment8, the panel might be chosen among the Duke of Buckingham’s tenants9, with the Duke of Buckingham himself as foreman; and, to the end that the country might be quite satisfied with the judge, and have ample security beforehand for his moderation and impartiality10, it would be desirable, perhaps, to make such a slight change in the working of the law (a mere11 nothing to a Conservative Government, bent12 upon its end), as would enable the question to be tried before an Ecclesiastical Court, with the Bishop13 of Exeter presiding. The Attorney-General for Ireland, turning his sword into a ploughshare, might conduct the prosecution14; and Mr. Cobden and the other traversers might adopt any ground of defence they chose, or prove or disprove anything they pleased, without being embarrassed by the least anxiety or doubt in reference to the verdict.
