Tit. II. B. & C.

of Procedure would be perfect if I could make it so,
but perfection is not the lot of human works. The
imperfection of your system of Procedure before your
Courts of Justice will afford no advantage to the institution
of your Accommodation-Offices unless the system
of Procedure before them is better than that before
the Courts. But why should it be? If you know
how to give a good better system than you have
given to your Courts why refuse it them and give
it to your offices. If you do not, what chance have
your offices of doing better than your Courts.

I see how the case has been — Men have invented
imagined new expedients in Procedure, and
finding them not match with the expedients system of Procedure
in use before Courts of Justice, have gone
on imagining new systems to put the expedients into
and as a sort of natural consequence new Courts
to act with the benefit of these new systems. All
this is natural: but all this is crude: it is a step latern in the search of a good plan: but it is not
itself a good plan. This new expedient whatever
it be is it well adapted to promote the ends of
Justice? I take it up, and I put it into my system
of Procedure before Courts of Justice. I don't want build Accommodation-Offices
