66.
In Common Law, no
Standard – nor can
there be.

Use of imaginary Standard
– see pleadings. Plaintiff
finding no ground for
his demand in law, but
imaginary one – forced
to go to Lawyers.

all false. Hence see their
conduciveness to justice on
one hand – to judicature
on the other.

Act wd. be declared not to
