One sinister interest then is which is common to all
countries, and which may come first sure to have existence and operation in
a body of that sort. Thus is the cut off of the lawyer class

In the present state of things Their interest is in a state of inexorable unappeasable hostility to the universal
interest. A Two They are so in two distinguishable characters
1. as lawyers: 2. as members of ruling few.

I. It is the interest of the Community at large greatest number, that while the
facility of obtaining the assistance service due from Judges to
suitors be as great as possible, the number of instances in
which application is actually made for it be as small
as possible: that thus the aggregate the quantity of the evils of litigation
namely, expence vexati delay and vexation be as small
as possible. It is the interest of the lawyer class that
the number of those applications be as great as possible:
that so of the aggregate quantity of the expence the quantity of this the portion which
in the shape of professional profit comes into their hands
may be as great as possible.

II. It is the interest of the greatest number that the expence
attendant in those same applications be as small as possible.
It is the interest of the lawyer class that their share the quantity
of that ex their profit be as great as possible, and thence
that the expence to which their profit have a proportion be every part of the expence by which their profit is encreased
as great as possible.

with the utmost facility of application for demand and defence the number of
suits of all sorts be as small as possible, so is it the
interest that of all circumstances the effect tendency of which is to give
encrease to the number the force should be as small as
possible. For the same opposite reason it is the interest of the lawyer
class that that force be as great as possible.
