II. Judicatories accessible.

Inaccessibility of
Judicatories remedied
by the establishment
of local ones
While a limitation the of is the reliability of justice?
We speak not of labour: it is not with satisfaction we speak of .
One half the people content as to build their own . For this depends like
no of and neither would it be worth while put an exclusion upon justice.
Now for the inaccessibility of the Judicatories. Here the remedy
is not less obvious nor is description discussion is the
word less simple. To the four great Westminster Hall Courts,
and to all other Justice shops, substitute a compleat assortment
of shops where it may be had gratis — a compleat set of

Objection as to expense
answered.

render it so at present?
In France it is not
so here even now: in
France where Judges

fees: what should render
it so in England? In
France whereas "In the
multitude of Judges
