With the help of the Confulta and of the Cenfure, I eltablifhed in the divihon of the Conftitu* It tions of Lyons. « Whatever is good, whatever is beautiful, is always rcfult of a uniform and fimpic fvfteiK.

I could not ap prove that a Ptsetor alone (hculd be called to pronounce upon the fortune of the citizens j the Judges hidden from the eyes of the \^biic ftiould decide in fecrct not only upon thdr property, but upon their lives. In the organization which will be prefented to you, jay Council will ftudy to make my people en- ^ joy ail the advantages which refuit from coh ietUve Iribuneis, from a public procedure, and from a right of defence. It is to fccure them a jufticc more evidecrly enlightened, that I have* eftabiifhcd that the circumftances in which Italy now is permitte’d me to (hink of the eftabliftimcnt of Juxies •, but the Judg es muft pronounce !ikr the Jurors, from th^ir ir^ipie conviiStion, and without delivering them- felves up to that fyftem of h ’Jf proofs which much oftner end.mgeis innocence than it ferves to difeoyer guilt. * « I corfchted that the public debt fliould bear the name of Monte'^Napoleony to give a built at the expenee cf the finances of «iy kingdom of Italy, and which at prefent makes a part of the: French forces, have ren dered ufeful fervices in many circutuftances.
