Review &c
19
Ordinary Judge whatever
his opulence not trusted with
sums above £100.
20
Consent of both parties not
sufficient to allow him the
cognizance of a suit if
beyond that amount.
21
Such the whole extent of the
logical field of service.
22.
Of this limitation what the
object.
23.
Answer the not taking from
Westminster Hall Judges their
vested rights to the plunderings
extractible from suitors'
pockets.
24.
If diminution of the plunderage
had been proposed there sat
and sit Lords Tenderden &
Wynford Lyndhurst & Eldon
25
Hard must have been the
contest to screw up the
new Judges pecuniary
jurisdiction to the £100.
26
Nor is that plunderage
to be obtained without modification
and restrictions
27
Limitation to where both
parties consent – Suits
where one suitor malâ
fide the most profitable
to Judge & Co & therefore retained
by them.
28.
Essential condition to the
arrangement a certain relation
between nonofficial
partners of the firm
and the intended victims.

29
Illustration Naboth's vineyard
Naboth the intended
victim David the nonofficial
immolator.
30
If David in possession he
is on defendant's side, if
not on plaintiff's.
31.
1 Suppose the plaintiff to
be the malâ fide suitor
Suit David v. Naboth
In this case money how
distributed by David
among his partners official
and professional.
32.
Problem how to exhaust
Naboth's law purse.
33.
In the case of the air pump
complete exhaustion scarcely
possible. In legal procedure
exhaustion of suitor's
purse the every day
practice.
34.
If Naboth were admitted
to the Judge's presence
a few words & a few minutes
would be suffice
but this against their
principle.
35.
If David the Defendant,
instrument and mode of
exhaustion and plunderage
the same.
36
The vineyard on each
occasion corporeal or
incorporeal – if corporeal
movable or immovable.
37
Immediate means of exhaustion
expense – Intervening
means delay and
vexation.
---page break---
38.
Instruments of production
of these means – Legal devices.
39
To the extent of these
means of exhaustion
no determinate limits.
40
But for success a careful
calculation must
be made in each case
by David of the dimensions
both of Naboth's
& his own purses –
absolute and relative.
41.
Expense delay and vexation
increased not diminished
by H.B's
bill
42.
Not one of the devices
has he not exemplified
in it.
43.
In every part of its
it he has labored
for and deserved
well of his brethren
in the law.
