Of this expence causes.

Of this expence, by which, to so vast a majority of the members of the community the benefit of judicial services,
and with it all judicial remedys is denied, and the engagement entered into by the
ruling powers left disfulfilled, and their public faith violated,
nine seven — at least seven distinguishable parcels, produced by so many distinguishable
efficient causes, may are distinctly visible perceptible.

1. Taxes imposed under name
of taxes — carried to public account

1. The taxes still continued to be imposed under the name
of taxes, [the produce being] the money being exacted by the authority of the finance department, and carried to the account
of the public revenue

2. Taxes under the name of
fees, carried to Judge's acct

2. The taxes imposed as above under the name of fees,
the money being exacted by the authority under different various names of the Judges
and carried to their private account: the account of their private pockets to wit either immediately
without the of any other pocket, or through the
pockets of those subordinates of theirs, whose profit the superordinates
having the nomination of them is thus made the profit
of those same superordinates.

Kings Silk Gown Counsel Barristers — fees, exacted by the authority
of the Judges, in appearance for the sole benefit of these same
Agents for the representatives of the suitors, in effect fees for the joint benefit of
these same Agents and the Judges themselves, the same
operation which puts fees in the prockets of those Agents, putting
other fees into the pockets of the Judges, and well worse, the
Judges having thus as individuals an interest in the profits made
by those their brethren in the trade, and as any can in a any breed
stiled a trade our partners ever had in the profit received
by the hand of another: and the un unennobled partners having
no more than the interest and the consequent desire and endeavour, to give ob the nobled parties
parties the power also, to
give to the common
profit dishonest profit
an unlimited encrease
