As to the relative necessity of this piece
in the mechanism of the English law in its present
state, it affords the strongest proof of its natural
repugnancy to the ends of justice and in particular
of its relative unfitness, with reference
to the footing upon which the general fabric of the
law promises to stand in France.
What makes it so necessary in England? the
protection it affords against the tyranny of bad
laws: of bad corrupt branches in the main body
of the laws; in other words the chance it affords
helps to afford of putting a bar to their execution.
If this character it concurrs with is but one of a numerous
train of ingredients institutions debilitating principles
of procedure which concurr in weakening the whole general
reach of the main body of the laws, and preventing it from doing
either the good or the harm it would do if
accompanied by a system of procedure truly
and properly adapted to its end.
