Evidence

§. The opposition between the interest of the lawyer and that of the suitor
accounts without difficulty for all legal incongruities.

Revised Reason Argue upon the vulgar supposition that the objects they
were aiming at were the ends of justice, every page, every other
decision and arrangement is full of mystery, and that mystery inexplicable.
Substitute to the that more obvious supposition the true one, all mysteries
vanish. The ends of justice were not attained – why? because
they were not aimed at.

In every work and causing of it The whole system swarms with inconsistency: it is
made up of nothing else. As yet, scarce are they here and there an instance since these inconsistencies attracted
notice. In proportion as they do attract notice,
the an emotion a sensation naturally produced by them is that of perplexity
and surprize. Bear well in mind the real views of the this
individual in question, all such sensations ideas of this complexion are nipped in the
bud. In these inconsistencies, or in any inconsistencies
still more flagrant, if any still more flagrant could exist
what is there to excite surprize? The only cause of author for surprize
is produced by the hypothesis that the ends aimed
at on those occasions were the ends of justice. What is
it that should have kept them clear of those inconsistencies?
Nothing whatever, on any other supposition than that of their
intertwining being activated by a regard for the ends of justice. But they had never had
any such regard. That the sinister interest in which they
had each their personal share should be promoted, promoted
in the highest practicable degree on all favourable occasions, and by all safe and practicable
means, was their universal and constant wish: that as it was by
injustice and injustice only that that interest could in general
be promoted, to injustice, injustice in all its various shapes has in general regarded by them
with favour, was in general regarded by them with an eye of complacency an object of their affection
justice was in general one the object of aversion to them their aversion regarded
by them with an eye of aversion: regarded by them at
with an eye of indifference.
