What reading level is A Letter to the Right Honourable Lord North On the East India Bill Now Dependin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the Bill appears to want explanation. But I have been told by a Proprietor of India Stock, who has connections, I believe, with fome Directors, that decilions in the fupreme Court of Judicature are not intended to be made by Juries. And as the jurifdiction of this Court is to extend throughout the three provinces, and only Calcutta Juries are men- tioned in the quoted claufe, we may rationally conclude, that decilions in general are to be made by the Judges, without the intervention of Jur...ies.
Hitherto criminal matters have been always decided by Juries, but others by Judges only. And we have lately had fome ftrange examples produced of judgments given by the latter in India.
My Lord, experience has ferved every where to demonftrate, and particularly under defpotic governments, that reliance can very rarely be made on the integrity of Judges; who, to promote their own interefts, will fo interpret the laws as to make them anfwer any pur- pofc ; and no government can be more arbi- trary than that of Bengal has been, and is likely to continue, for any thing we yet fee to the contrary.
