Review
Tout ensemble characters in
which Mr Brougham's
Judge has to appear, having
on each occasion his
choice.
2
His choice regulated
by his own interest.
Immediate object his own
profits – in the next place
those of his brethren.
3.
Silken robes of the creator
a protection to Judge &
Co against any innovation
thrown into the Bill
by oppressed and plundered
suitors.
4
This is the Utopia of lawyers.
5
Instead of partridges ready
roasted there will be
suitors with boxes
full of gold calling
out to be caught &
fed upon.
6
Appetite for lucre – Abhorrence
of justice habit
of all but the ruling
few – exemplified in
clauses 87, 88, 89, 90
of the Bill.
7
Highly instructive these
clauses in showing
the end in view of the
Bill – giving increase
to the suffering which
it is the professed object
of the Bill to remove.

8
First comes the device
of the fixt time.
9
His object is not to know
the truth but to avoid
knowing it.
10
After interlocutory
judgement signed
under §87 application
to set it aside
under §88.
11
Per §89. Application
for more particular
account of the suit.
12
Per §90. Power to Judge
to hear parties counsel
and attornies interested
in disguising the truth.
13
In penning this enactment
can he have
been in his senses?
14
Power thus given to
Judge without responsibility.
15
To fill the cup to the
brim but two things,
wanting Lord Eldons
obscurity & Tenterden's
prevention of publicity.
