1803. On the Value of Cordis when ufeJ for' Di/}iI/aiiort. 45t 



by their aclvcrfarics, and whether they are exa'ted, in every cafe, 

 with icverity, are quellions of httle moment, feeing that the 

 fyitem itfelf fully warrants the llridell exaction. A recurrence 

 to our law-reports will amply prove, that the adniinillrators of 

 jurifprudence fnpport every claim for tithe to the fullell extent. 

 That an evil Ihould be tolerated, bccaufc it does not univerially 

 prevail, and that tithes fliould be continued, beeaufe they are not 

 uniformly collected with rigour, is a kind of logic wiih which 

 v/e are uttt^rly unacquainted. 



Mr T. S. feems to argue, that luhatever is, is right ; or why in- 

 fer that tithes are not a great evil, beeaufe the public have not 

 univerially called out for a remedy ? In otlier words, he thinks 

 that the burden is tolerable, beeaufe it is endured •, and, vice vcrfa^ 

 that, if intolerable, it would not be endured. This reminds us 

 of the llory of the Englifh failor condemned to be hanged. Up- 

 on hearing his fentence pronounced, he ihowed noemotion, but 

 merely turned his quid in his cheek. The Judge, wifhing to 

 awake him to a proper ienfe of his condition, laid to him, Have 

 you not heard. Sir, that you are to die very foon ? Why, pleafe 

 your Honour, replied the failor, I know I muft die fome time ; 

 and a little fooner or later makes very little difference. Bat have 

 you confidered, Sir, what is to become of you after death ? Not 

 much, an't pleafe your Honour. It is polTible, Sir, that you may 

 go to hell. Well, yoar Honour, while one has a being, he muil 

 have fome one birth or another. But in liell, Sir, you will be 

 tormented, and your torments will endure for ever. For ever, 

 fay you ? Why, then, if fo be the cafe, it is certain I (hall be 

 able to bear them. 



Mr T. S. alfo feems to confider tlie interference of byftanders, 

 with their- opinions, as a kind of jus tertii interference. We 

 doubt, however, if any proper opinion, on any caufe, was either 

 ever formed or fairly ^dven by the parties intereifed h'lnc inde. 

 Were all fpeculation debarred upon fabje6ls of ^public utility, 

 except in thofe who have an imnK'diate interel^, we fear fpecula- 

 tion would be attended with little profit. N.
