Blackstone

4. Number of judicatories desirable, the number such
that as per 1. in as small a number as possible, persons
desirous of being suitors on the plaintiffs side may be want
and that, for as small a time as possible, for the faculty
of obtaining a hearing from the Judge the requisite number of hearings and in particular the first hearing, –
the hearing by which commencement is given to the suit.
2. In the next place for the obtaining of such hearing
no person shall have such a distance to travel from his
home but that there may be time enough before and after
the sitting time of the Judge to go to for the repair to the Justice
Chamber and back again in the course of the 24 hours
without sleeping elsewhere than at home. This would
require a Justice Cham Judicatory to be established in
every square of from 20 to 24 miles of a side, on
the supposition that the place of the Judicatory is in the centre of the Square.
☞ For the provision requisite to be made for rendering the number of
the Judicatories never either too not great enough or too great for
the quantity of business requiring to be done, refer onwards to title Judge Deputes.

5. Number of Judges in a judicatory, one only.
If more than one, of remuneration of expence in case of two would be doubled, if in
case of three trebled, in case of four quadrupled: and
by diminution of responsibility, and occasional production
of delay by time spent in discussions, the provision rendered
ill adapted to its end in proportion a degree proportioned to the number of the
functionaries there employed in this one business.
☞ After adding or not adding the ulterior reasons, here speak
of the inconsistency in the numbers employed by Law as it is.
Thus the Judges are always too many, though never near enough.
