Abstract
Though this remark may expose me to much aminacl version, the advantages which, in some respects at least, must attend the change that I recommend, ought to be evident to the meanest capacity.1. Lawsuits will generally be brought to a termination within one-fourth or one-fifth of the time which it is now necessary to devote to them.2. The expense incident to the attendance of witnesses will be reduced by nine-tenths, and perjury, now so common, will be (if not impossible) always susceptible of detection.3. The number of the Judges can be diminished by onehalf, and the remaining half, instead of exhibiting symptoms of exhaustion or lassitude, will come to the Bench fresh, with intellects brightened and spirits exhilarated by the hope of manifesting and of infusing virtue.4. The grounds of the decision will be no longer a mystery, nor will it be in the power of the Judge to conceal his real opinion.Publicity will ensure rectitude.5. It will, in the supposed event, behove the Government to select for the Judicial Bench gentlemen of the highest moral courage and worth, with commensurate capacity.To instruct, to enlighten, to guide Juries, to enable them thereby honorably and efficiently to perform their part in the admin- istration of justice, to control them, and to apply the legal remedy where they fail, are not tasks that every political hack, every donkey, can perform.But as u the deaf adder heareth not the voice of the charmer," so ignorance and prejudice that can have no con- ception of the legitimate and beneficial power and influence of able Judges over Jurors, can form no estimate of the con- sequences which will most assuredly follow the adoption of trial by Jury : nor can the evils of the present system be more vividly illustrated than by the exhibition of its effects upon the conduct of a gentleman in private life so exemplary and generally courteous as Chief Justice Meredith.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
