Blackstone

6. Fields of judicial service – geographical fields
and logical fields. The By the geographical fields
understand so many portions of territory, the judicial business of
which shall respectively have one Judicatory attached to it.
So many Judge-shires may be the appellation by which
they may respectively be designated. By the logical fields
of service understand the several sorts of suits capable of
being allotted, some one sort to this or that Judge in his
Judicatory, another to this or that other, and so on.

No reason rational cause was ever assigned or capable of
being assigned – why, with very few exceptions grounded in
special reason one and the same Judicatory with its one Judge
should not have cognizance of all sorts of suits. Suppose
though it were but two sorts of suits that in each Judge-shire require
to be committed to, so many sorts of that same number of Judges, thus you have
the abovementioned number and expense of remuneration doubled; if these
trebled, and so on: and then would come the difficulty the task the needless and the difficult
useless difficulty task of drawing the line or endeavouring to draw the
line between each such sort of suit and every other.

☞ Here speak of the multitude of logical fields of action
under Law as it is: prefixing or subjoining a short account
of the historical cause of this complication – struggles for judicial
power in the early and mid stages of the society. This is
already done in some sort in another part of these papers.

7. Intercommunity of authority as between the Judge
of each Judge Shire and a Judge of every other Necessary through the
whole course of the a suit: This will be indispensably
necessary. Cause of the necessity, the residence of different
persons requisite to be examined in the character of parties, or
witnesses of in any number of different Judge shires.
