1824. Jany. 8 1831 Aug. 3 M
Constitutional Code or Procedure

Ch. XII Judiciary collectively
§.13. Justice for the Helpless
English practice

2

or 6.
While this on pretence
of relief oppression is applied
to defendants plaintiffs side,
so, by same hand to
Defendants.

While thus, in the guise of on pretence of affording relief administers oppression
is applied to the plaintiffs side, it is applied in the same
instance and by the same stroke hand to on the defendant's side

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. So long as he has
a farthing left, on he
must go, or under
the name of cost, reimburse
the money disbursed
by plaintiff in
that : every proceeding
back to a subsequent
expenditure.

No sooner has the plaintiff paid his money, than the
defendant, be his conduct ever so free of blame finds himself under the obligation
of paying a correspondent sum of money: and this
under to save himself from pain of much worse consequences. If the man
on the plaintiffs side will not pay the money he is at,
he is but where he was: at the hand of the Judge he obtains no relief: but at
those same hands neither does he in any shape experience
p oppression. Not so the Defendant. Pay
what in the first instance is demanded of him he must, or whatsoever be
the which by the suit is endeavoured to be imposed
upon him, he must undergo it: undergo this suffering,
and what is more, be the demand ever so groundless
he must repay the expense with which his antagonist adversary
has been suffered to saddle him on condition of charging
himself with it in the first instance. Being once
in the suit he must now go on with it and
go on with it to the end & every expenditure leads
this to a secondary one.

The Defendant of the uttermost farthing

or 9.
Defendant exhausted,
out comes the Judge
with a gross lie
He is in contempt:
as well might a
rider say this of a horse when hand
which had just sunk under
its his load.

No sooner is he exhausted than he becomes does exhaustion oblige him to cease his payment
after a gross a Judge comes out with a gross lie is uttered lie is the ground of out of which a sufficient warrant
and this he is made a employed as sufficient warrant for adding
insult to extortion: he is declared to be in contempt.

or 10
Continuance? Yes: the
Judge. Object of contempt,
what?
, Justice.

The charge has the same truth in it, as if the object
of it were a horse who unable any longer to bear
his load had just sunk sinks under it. Not that any
in this case there is any want of contempt: but the person
on whose part breast it has place is the Judge, and the object of it
towards which it manifests itself is Justice are the plain rules are the laws of truth and the principles of justice
of justice — those rules so obvious principles which have already been brought to view.
