Accommodation -tice. But whether the case be of the number
of those in which it is in the power of a trial
by Jury to do justice, or whether it be not
makes no sort of difference in the generous
readiness which is now visible on all sides among the
to accommodate the dispute and put lawyers of all descriptions and on both sides
to list themselves enlist under the banners of peace
and join in giving give chicane and litigation
their death-stroke.(a)

But neither can this case, frequent as it
is, be cited as an example of the service
that may be done to justice by accommodation.
This is not preventing litigation but
doubling it.

Note

(a) Even this can not be is not done without a lie:
for an English Judge lawyers can do nothing without a lie. The
law could never persuade itself to believe that even
in this stage its retainers would permitt endure the idea of
a compromise suffer their clients to come to a compromise:
but a story is told as how the Jurors
who should have tried the cause being
many of them wicked men would not all of them
come: and so there were but eleven of them when noses came to be counted, there
could be were found but eleven of them instead of twelve:
wherefore the cause could not go on, and the
wicked ones are to be punished &c. This is called
withdrawing a Juror. To have told tell the story as it really happened would be what is called error.
