On this occasion, an unscrupulous lawyer was sent by the government party from the capital to overawe the opposition to its nominee; many of the half-castes, headed by my old friend John da Cunha, who was then settled at Ega, fought hard, but with perfect legality and good humour, against this powerful interest.
There is at least a considerable doubt as to the legality of this sale. It is unlikely that people will care to bid." After some further polite conversation they took their leave. Keith quickly discovered that the opinion held by the commissioners was shared by most of his friends.
When we remember how potent an element in bringing on the Revolution of 1688 a revolution which had placed the House of Hanover on the throne of Great Britain the question as to the sovereign's dispensing power had been; what an engine of tyranny in the State and of destruction to the Church James II. had intended to make it; and how offensive, if not dangerous, any revival of it might well appear, we need not wonder that the bishops of England should have declined to act under it, or that the sovereign should have declined to give it, unless it could be guarded and supported by forms and sanctions of unquestionable legality.

It is no answer to repeat that an unconstitutional law is no law so long as the question of its legality is to be decided by the State itself, for every law operating injuriously upon any local interest will be perhaps thought, and certainly represented, as unconstitutional, and, as has been shown, there is no appeal.
The Tribunal itself, loses more and more any sense of legality it had at the outset. Its procedure still carries a semblance of legal method, but it is really an automatic machine for affixing a legal label on political murders.
Marshall wrote the testament in his own hand, without witnesses, as he had the legal right to do under the laws of Virginia.
