1828 Aug. Blackstone

1

Fields judicial, geographical
& logical with
correspondent modes of
division.

2

Geographical mode intelligible:
so its division
into Judgeshires

3

Logical unintelligible
Result, Suits:
1. Civil
2. Criminal or penal
3. Revenue
4. Spiritual (to be added)

4

To judicature revenue
-ration unnecessary

5

King not rich enough
bulk of it drawn of suitors

6

Hence, no fee no redress:
no liberty of self-defence.

7

Plaintiffs' fees paid,
to produce defendant compliance
his body was seized
so ultimately his goods sold.

8

Not paying fees, contempt
was attributed to him & he
dealt with accordingly.Sheeps'
contempt of wolf.

9

Given by King to judge a
respect-commanding garment.

10

Consequence of fee payment
1. Multiplication of fee-yielding
suits.
2. Multiplication of occasions
for fees in each suit.

11

Effect of industry applied
to multiplication of suits,
war between judicatory
& judicatory.

12

Against every judge, every
suitor helpless.

13

Against by a
rotten judge, every judge had
the King to appeal to.

14

King ignorant & otherwise
occupied.

15

Weapons lies; conveyed
their King's ears into Parties

16

K.B. & C. B. both operated
as defendant, imprisoning
him on the cost of Plaintiff's
fees.

17

K.B. a lie, to justify
it in seizing CB's defendant
. C.B. another to
justify its own defendant.


---page break---

18

All these & others Judge & Co.
feeding lies approved
by Blackstone, when
called fictitious

19

Thus while violence
was repressed, fraud was
instilled.

20

Lying an indispensable
instrument of justice:
but not to be used but by
Judge & Co.

21

Mendacity necessary to
justice, as disease to
health. Yet held unnecessary
by all judges.

22

To render judicial field
fertile in fees, manoeuvres
two:
1. Written pleadings as
contradistinguished to evidence
2. Extension of mendacity
license to suitors

23

From material conversely
oral pleading, by suitors,
fees not extractable.

24.

From minutation
yes in small proportions:
but writing was not common
enough. Nor could judge
pay clerks enough.
