Blackstone

Beginning
(2) Rights
II. exercised not but
through Judicial Services
2. Universally applying obstacles

Because, justice wd be denied
to every one unable to obtain
Judge's services without the
operation of Govt.

2. Because to every p individual person who by the positive
action of operation or want of appropriate operation on the part of government,
is left without destitute of the means of obtaining the services of
the Judge where in so far as necessary to the giving to him the
benefit of any right of with which he has been invested, or if the
means of d effectually defending himself against any burthen
wrongfully endeavoured to be imposed upon him — to any
such person justice, the justice which is in words pretended to be administered,
is in fact and effect denied.

In Supreme Courts of Westminster
Hall, for every one
who can obtain justice, 20
or 1000 who cannot: by fees levied
by authority of Judges.
Justice denied to all but few
& sold them at an encreasing
price.

And in the practice of these Judicatories of which the same
as being in Westminster Hall, and which are authoritatively stiled
the Supreme Court of Common Law and Equity, and by whom
what is regarded or pretended to be regarded a superior
sort of Justice (as if there were really any difference of the sorts
in justice) for an individual who have within whose reach
the expense of receiving justice the benefit of judicature whether it be on the pursuers
side or on the defendants' side, there are as above, say twenty
say 50, say 100, say 1000, out of whose reach it is
kept — studiously and avowedly kept: kept by the under the
lately then exercised authority of the Kings Lords and Commons Legislator
by the authority of the Judges, by fees exacted by them for
their own use, as above.

Thus is what is called justice denied to all but the
favoured few, and to these thus favoured sold: sold as a continually
encreasing price; a price by which, as it encreases, the number of those
to whom it is denied encreases
