1831. Aug 31

Constitutional Code

Not to be for Mr C

or 1.

Rules as to factitious
hardship, whether for compensation
or punishment

1. Blame ascertained, apply
it: whether to plaintiff
or defendant.

2. Blame not ascertained,
apply it not.

or 2

Guided by the opposites
of these rules has been
the established system
everywhere.

or 3.

At the outset before
blame can have been
ascertained to have
place on either side
it applies hardship
on both sides

or 4.

Plaintiff, who as such
is presumed to have
received injury from a
resistible wrongdoer
receives fresh injury
from onetwo irresistible
wrongdoers in confederacy-
Sovereign and Judge.

or 5.

Exacted from him is
money, his receipt of
which is uncertain,
be it ever so clearly
due.

or 6.

Alike are dealt with
the man whose object
is to inflict and he
whose object to
-inflictcreepy oppression:
andpurchasing law
power for that purpose.

or 7.

On pain of indefinitely
worse consequences, no
sooner has plaintiff
paid his money than
Defendant is made to
pay a correspondent
sum.

To Plaintiff no money
no relief-this is all.

or 8.

To defendant, if no money
suffering without limit.
As long as to he has a
farthing left on him
he must go or under
the name of costs
reimburse the money
disbursed by plaintiff
in that view: every
preceding to a
subsequent expense.

or 9.

Defendant exhausted
out comes the Judge
with a gross lie
"He is in contempt"-
rather say

or 10.

Contamner? Yes:
the judge> Objects of
contempt what? human
feelings, and
justice

or 11.

Not that the injured
escapes unplundered.
But to save him from
being so is neither the
wish nor the power of
Judge & Co. In putting
him on a level with
him who is to be injured
they have given
him all the encouragement
the nature
of the case admits of.

or 12.

The more difficult it
is to effect the ruin
of a man the
greater is the power
price that must
be paid for it: and
one shop or another
must be applied to.
If a hundred pounds
costs payable before
it is determined
which is in the right
will suffice to ruin
you, your enemy
goes to a Common
Law Court: if not
less than a thousand
to an Equity COurt.

or 13 or 1

Justice for helpless - this
theoretical - so more
contemptible than if
ever so wicked: this
in profession attempted
by Law as it is.

or 14 or 2

If profession sincere,
what would be the arrangements?


---page break---

ChXIV Judicary Collectively

§ 13. Justice for the Helpless.

Existing Systems

English in particular

Poverty a crime.

or 15 or 3.

See 11th Hen VII.e.12
& 23rd Hen. VIII.c.15.

Under proper system
requisite to a man
before the Judge
appropriate skill &
money.

or 16 or 4.

But under Law as
it is: to preserve
him from wiving
a man must have
money more than
one in 100 or 1000
has.
