II. Topic 2. Accessibility of
justice
II. Matchless Constitution's
Plan.
1. Maximize the inaccessibility.
2
King &c Justice, a troublesome
If they can get at
him
3
Build a temple with four
fronts – Chancery &c. Call
it Temple of Justice.
.
In the entrance a throne:
seat on it Lady &c Favour:
in the costume of Justice.
5.
In the road, on a Direction
post, "To the temple of Justice"
6
Between Post & Temple, a
Toll-Bar. Given to Learned
Lords and Gentlemen the
Key. Let them take the
Tolls and put the money
into their own pockets.
7
Thus, all these allies and
Co- & Sub-Operators.
"Everything as it should be."
8.
A tax is th to those who
cannot pay it a prohibition.
Lawyers are Priests of
Favour. Business, hearing
those who apply to her,
thinking they apply to
Justice.
10
Money or ease they have –
proportions at their
choice.

11.
Given to the King &c by this,
obedience active & passive
from all: payers and
non payers, for exception if
any lawyers are not to blame.
12
General description of the result
of this inaccessibility,
a happy combination of
exaction and exclusion.
Now as to its causes in
particular. They are
1. Unintelligibility of language.
2. Invisibility of Judge.
3. Distance of suitors & witnesses'
abodes from Judgement
seat.
4. Diversification of courses
of procedure and accordingly of Judges.
13.
1. Unintelligibility. The greater
the need of interpretation by
by interpreters paid at their
own price; and the more
completely it is in their
power to sacrifice the
other interests to their
own without being
known to do so.
14.
2. Judges' invisibility.
The more completely
visible, the less the pretence
for seeing through
learned eyes.
15
3. Local distance. Vast
the expense saved if
men's furthest abode
were so near to the
Judgement seat as to
admit of their constant
attendance without
sleeping from home.
16
Diversity of Courts.
