1828 Sept. 9
Blackstone

Think Fancy not however that Mercy is a stranger to this such
justice. His Lordship has justice for those who can and will
pay for it: this such justice thus satisfied he has Mercy at said his Lordship
neither is his mercy wanting for those who can and will pay
for it. The Defendant thus prehended instead of being carried
to a an open and public place of confinement called a prison, if able and willing to pay for indigence is carried to
a more expensive close a more expensive of a place of close and private confinement
called a Spunging house. By one and the same
individual, the function of Prehensor and the trade of Publican
in Anglo United States language a Tavern-keeper are
nited: Under the authority the treatment he experiences adjusts itself of course
with the most desirable accuracy exquisite accuracy with all desirable accuracy with as much exactness accuracy as can be desired to the price amount of the money
paid for it.

Sooner or later, if the defendant thus dealt with is
fortunate enough to have friends as who under the name of Bail rich enough and willing enough
to be responsible for his eventual transference surrender to the place of
confinement called stiled a Jail or Prison, he is let out.
But Mercy in this shape is a means of fees. Not one operation
to instrument signed, not one operation performed without a
fee. Now come fees for learned gentlemen in addition to do. fee
for Noble and learned Lords and those whose profit is the profit
of the same Noble and learned Lords rains in a shower
of fees for learned Gentlemen of all sorts of and sizes.
All Bail must be justified: Any Bail may be opposed.
justification is by faith. Under Law as it is Legal justification is by fees: both
by begin with the same letter.

Here not another difference – nor that altogether an inconsiderable
one between Law as it is, and Law as it pretends to
be. Law as it pretends to be gives, if the alledged debt is due
to the extent of what is due the money of the Defendant, in so far as it can be laid hold
of, to the Pursuer to whom it is due. Law as it is gives
always the first fruits of it, as commonly as not perhaps the
whole of it to Noble and Learned Lords, Learned and many of them
Honorable Gentlemen, and those other persons, functionaries and
non functionaries together, of sorts and sizes immeasurable, are who by community of
interest practice and practice,
habits, disposition and
character, are linked with those
who are, and those who
are about to be Noble Lords:
and by as under and by the instruction
and by the protection of those same Noble and Learned Lords, moulded in those same congenial habits, dispositions, and character to the great universal and all-comprehensive proper common purpose.
