Evidence

In For a vast majority of the causes juridical contests disputes to which human weakness or
improbity gives birth, a single attendance, viz. understand of both parties
in the presence of each other and of the Judge is sufficient for decision: a
single attendance, and the duration of it, upon an average, not more
than a few minutes. The fee that would with any without creating clamour
could be exacted in return for so small a part of the Judge's time, would go but
a small way towards satisfying his appetite rapacity for money, especially where
the opulence of the parties operated as a provocation. To multiply fees
it became necessary to multiply occasions for fees: to make money, it
became necessary to make business.

By the indirect courses thus taken for making money the quantity degree of
oppression was increased aggravated beyond calculation: tenfold, twentyfold, a hundred
fold, a thousand fold or more according to circumstances. To get £5
to put into his own pocket, an the architect who is paid by a percentage
of 5 per cent, is obliged to must put his employer to an the expence
of £100. Thus grievous to the party injured is peculation pro rata if
compared with simple embezzlement or theft. But the degre hand
of oppression produced by the made-business made by the art architect is
but a feather, compared with that which is produced by the made business
made by the Judge. A more apposite illustration emblem parallel is the policy
afforded by the selfish man of Lord Bacon, the man who to roost one
egg for himself sets his neighbour's house on fire.

The natural system of judicial procedure is happily not altogether unproven
in any country: in particular not in England. It is the same
with the domestic. The restoration or preservation of it have but stands happily
exemplified in the practice of several Courts, while there will presently be occasion
to bring to view. The system by which the art of making business has been
brought to so disastrous carried to a pitch of such unhappy perfection may be called the
technical system.
