1824. July 31
Constitutional CodeCh. XXIV. Professional Lawyers
§. 1. Why

let down

A sort of Attorney who draws certain instruments of procedure without
ever seeing his Client, is stiled a Special Pleader. His
practice is in the Common Law Courts is stiled in contradistinction to the Equity Courts: though one of the four Westminster Hall Courts
namely the Court of Exchequer is at once a Common Law
Court and an Equity Court: the four Judges of which are
so may with her faces looking opposite ways, and
according as they addressed by one sort of or another
proceeding upon quite opposite principles: and upon occasion stopping on one
of the two which they have begun doing on another.
For of the Equity Courts one is at any period of a suit to stop or annul without
the slightest expectation of misconduct or impropriety, an error which has been
done in and by another.

As there is a law who is who is not and was another who is not
the Barrister Counsel and who is not so there is a Special Pleader who is not
and whose another who is a Barrister Counsel and
another who is not.

Attached to some of the Judicatories there are is to be seen a sort of
mongrel or Half cast between or composed of the official man and the professional man:
he is a the man of two natures; the official and
the professional: serving the rendering to the ruler a sort of limited
service the rendering of which is rendered in his the largest favour an
object of monopoly, but securing from him in the extracting in an official
character, to the profit of the Judge whose creature he is, extracting
fees from the suitor who otherwise can not go on if so may
his of vast expence, accompanied with
small chance for of justice ever imperfect justice.

In feudal practice, though withdrawn of labour though
expence be somewhat yet in a vastly higher proportion security
against the evil in question his along with it. But in English
law practice as division of labour encreases, not only does expence encrease
but insecurity along with. Every additional species of law practitioner interposed
between the suitor and the
Judge is an additional
rampart by which depredation
and oppression, which
done and with done are
seconded in defending
themselves against the approach
of Justice – In any shape from any one of those mendacity receives probation, encreases: to be Justice these are ever subservient, than the and to the happiness of Pyramus and Thisbe.
