Knight's England Isaiah 1:23 Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loves gifts, and follows after rewards: they judge not the fatherless… It was an age of universal abuses. Local magistrates were influenced by the pettiest gifts, and were called "basket justices." (Knight's England.)
