That except in cases of appeal the delay, vexation and expence inseparably attached
to Jury trial is a mere nuisance except in cases of
appeal, and that, if from the quantity of that triple-headed inconvenience
the factitious and unnecessary part were struck off, as it
actually in the Small Debt Courts, happily and thence in by happily already
far the greater number of causes suits, it would be idle to
altogether useless and indefensible to force the parties into
the necessarily complex course of Jury-trial procedure, taken unless dissatisfied
with that decision which except in a very small
part of the whole number of cases might so speedily be
pronounced by a single Judge – by a Scotch Lord
Ordinary, so much more speedily than by a Bench of
Justices of the Peace, has been already made sufficiently apparent
is is presumed, to every eye that is not by adverse
interest or prejudice shut against the sight.† † Scotch Reform Lett. p.
