1823. June 16
Constitut. Code

§ Arrangements prescribed to the Order of Judicial Procedure

The Constitutional Code has for its special characterised object the making
provision for
greatest happiness of the greatest number. But
to the greatest number belong those to by whom the expence, vexation
and delays incident to judicial procedure can least be ensured, – those burthens, which
for the sake of the profit upon the expence have been maximized
in proportion as the particular and sinister interest of the official and professional lawyers
have been born sway espoused by the legislative authority – been maximized.

Of those by whose labours the matter of abundance is
furnished to the rest by far the greater number are everywhere
so circumstanced as to have no money at all to
spare for any such afflictive oppressive casualties. In the case of upon a man individual of this class Whether it be in the shape
of money or time any the slightest a very minute addition to such exp
expence of money and time as the nature of the case renders
absolutely unavoidable operates as a denial of justice. It exposes
every individual by whom such expence can not be sustained
to be oppressed super oppressive to an unlimited amount at the hands of every
individual by whom such expence can be sustained.
It operates as a bounty upon oppression and as an instrument
in the hand of the oppressor, in every case in which it is the power hand of the judicial authority is among the instruments by
which the oppression is exercised.
