Ch. XXI. Law Practitioners
§. 1. Who

Art. 2 By the Attorney at Law(a) understand on this occasion
a person who acts as accompanying assistant or as
occasion calls as substitute to a person engaged or in contemplation
of being engaged on the prisoners, or on the defendant's side
in a suit at law.

Note ( )

In English practice, the name of Attorney at law is nearly
obsolete. Solicitor is a name confined till of late years to the sort
of Law Agent whose practice is confined to the sort of Judicatories
calling themselves called Equity Courts. But the business of those
Courts the business being the least odious and the most profitable the practisers
in the other Courts Judicatories called by way of distinctive Law Courts
have gradually shrunk from the odium attached to the appellation
of Attorney, and taken shelter under that of Solicitor.
With much more justice might the public odium have attached
itself to the Judges: the Law Practitioners of all sorts being that
which The Jud they have been made by Judges, to whose
work was made every where, for their own benefit, and
for the taxation of lay-gents as all are called who are not
lawyers, the system of procedure where where is. A dog
when a stick has been thrown at him has sometimes been
seen biting at venting his anger on the stick, instead of the hand that threw it,
but in general a dog is not that willy the judgement of a dog is not thus weak. But the
Judges, adding in addition in to a power subordinate only to that of the superior Monarch whose exclusive and even subservient instruments they have of course, at all times been
Legislature possessing sharing in effect with the Monarch the most complete impunity
the oppressed sufferers in their reproaches have fallen into the habit of
turning them against the instrument of depredation and oppression, not daring to turn them
against the hand by which its motions are directed.

In th To an English Attorney it has been possible never not been impossible to be an honest
man and now and then every now and then are such there has been. To an English
Judge it now has been possible: to the Judge any more than to the Barrister out of whom he was made.
These also would be honest were it possible, and
in secret to their friends, the to which state
of moral turpitude by the corrupt state of government their situation has been plunged.
