Ch. Summary View of Regular Procedure
Ch. Inability of the main body of Regular Procedure.
Ch. Regular Procedure – the greatest part worse than useless.

Taken as a standard and as a model, the system of summary
procedure, with or without the addition of a part of the penal branch
of regular procedure, will serve for a not unuseful the division and approbation
of the main body of the regular system as applied to non-penal causes.

The useless part of the technical system of procedure is equal to the difference
between that and the summary.

The business of the Common Law Court may be distinguished divided
in the first place instance into three great masses: –

1. The business done in the offices by Attorneys.

2. The business done in Court in Term time, upon Motions
made by Advocates.

3. The business done at Trials: whether in London and & in Town Causes partly at the metropolis in Westminster
Hall and the London Guild hall, at the Courts called as the phrase is in both instances
at : in Country Causes, at the time of in the several Circuits, in the
several Assize Towns.

Of these three masses branches the third is composed in toto of real indispensable
business.
The two preceding ones may with little exception be set down
to the account of made business, or sham-business.
Of The branch included in the first branch has nothing that corresponds
to it in summary procedure. Yet has any thing
ever been found to object to Summary Procedure? Is there Of all
the several ends of justice, is there a single one that is not made
more effectually pursued fulfilled and attained by Summary than by regular?
What then was the real design and intention of this branch of the
business? We have seen already. To make business and profit
for immediately for the subordinate officers and Attorneys: ultimately
for Jud profit with little or no business for Judges: not
to speak of the casual profit prepared for Advocates.
