Impeachment as the law of the public
3
Real effect of the bill
to give great encrease
to those evils
For our parts, we being part and parcel of the
People of this Realm "having with all attention perused the Bill it is our misfortune to believe, and
with the fullest assurance that the effect of it or any thing in any like unto it, should it pass
into an Act would be — to make a prodigious encrease in every district to which it extended
to every one of these evils, accompanied with the creation of others, which
we shall presently have to bring to view
4
So the desire and
endeavour of its
author
Then, as to the wish, desire and endeavour of the Honble
and learned Gentleman, it is our belief the in our belief they were to
those same evils, without any exception that we can see greater
for that same encrease.
5
This but a portion
only of the his evil desires
& endeavours
But those which have as yet been mentioned constitute
no more than a portion of the evil wishes, desires and endeavours
with which our eyes he is but too justly chargeable.
6
Therefore articles of
Impeachment follow
It is accordingly our desire to be considered as preferring
against this public functionary, at the bar of Public Opinion
Articles of Impeachment, as follows
1 As to Expense — encreased
not diminished
1. That professing to his as to expense in suits he endeavour
being in profession to make deduction from in as far as may be, his endeavour
has been to make addition to it, as far as may
be
7
2 So delay
2. That as to delay, his endeavour being, in profession
to make deduction from it as far as may be, has in
reality been to make addition from to it, as far as may
be: that is to say, partly for the sake of the profit addition
made by the delay to the amount of the expense, and therein
to the profit extractable by lawyers of all classes, efficient
and professional, out of the expense
8
3 As to vexation no
reduction nor endeavour
at reduction
3. That, as to vexation, meaning vexation in the minds of
suitors, it his endeavour being a profession to make deduction
from it, no such endeavour has in any been used by him
and
that this evil in this shape, if the
contemplation of it has not been a source
of satisfaction to him:
to wit by reason of the
profit so associated with
it, has at best been no other than an object of indifference.
