Capricious
Vagaries, these

1
By Small debtia set off
allowed — not by Ordinance

1. Small debtia allows of Set-offs Ordinance never thought of
any such thing — the time was not yet arrived for it. Quere if
Set-offs are proper in a case where no more than £5 and no more is at
stake why not in a case in which as far as £50 or as far
as £100 is at stake

2
To Ordinance principal
Scribe the title of Registrar
with emolument proportionate
to the supposed
dignity. To Smalldebtias
the more humble title
& rank of Clerk — Business
in both cases the same

2. Ordinance: in quality of , and or the order
of dignity and importance, gives to him
Scribe the stile and title of Registrar: Small debtia, so small is the in his
in his humility, no higher title than that of
Clerk. The business being in both cases exactly the same, and the
same individual will if the title of Registrar be given to him,
serve better and deserve more than if it were in the title
of Clerk. There is matchless Constitution all , Mathematical
is as opulence. Charity covers a multitude of sins
Opulence covers them all, though they are as red as Scarlet.

3
Under Small debtia
parties may be examined
on both — Not under
Ordinia

3. Under Small debtia the Judge may if he pleases so it pleases him examine the
parties upon call: not so under Ordinia in his £50 or
£100 suits. Nothing was different. If his sum at stake was
100,000 or 1,000,000 Equity would not scruple to examine upon
Oath the parties in one side, provided always that it be a written
with 5 years allowed for the fabrication of evasions and lies

Not that the difference is any thing more than verbal Chicaneries
Small Debtia and his Judges know better things than so
to please

Plaint. If Ordinia has his Plaint so has Small Debtia his

Wherefore this pretence — the sham power of examining upon Oath
in case of a Debt not beyond £ ? Because one legal Draughtsman
found the of character widen (the mentions covering one of the )
than this, a supposition capable of being entertained not
by a superficial or
observer or, that this
whose particular
preponderant inconvenience — be
apt of clearly
were intended by
learned draughtsman to be having place and accordingly would be have place in ordinary practice.
