Sow and Pigs When a man has paid his 25, 50 or 100 guineas
for his chance for Justice, it is never more than a
part that he can get back again after the compleatest
victory: the tax costs allow'd however enormous never
amounting equalling to the real costs really incurred For
the chance of an injury amounting to the amount of two or three
to ten or twenty guineas not only must pay from
three to five or ten years of a man's average income but when
the chance has turned out in his favour he is without
reparation after all: so that the utmost a man
can expect for by the hazarding of four years income for
example is the satisfaction of throwing away for example
half a year's for nothing.
When this total want of all to a certain remedy in every case
for an injury to a certain amount in every case: under
a system of law which according to its well paid panegyrist
knows no such thing as a want of remedy, is mentioned
in a circle of lawyers it is for the sake of indicating
the folly of those who deceived by their representations
or their suppressions come to their market for the remedy.
I remember being witness to a good deal of merriment
occasioned by the an action of Replevin in
the Common Pleas for a sow and pigs. By this
sow and pigs, as far as I could collect I collected the profession I understood had been benefitted
to more than the amount of ten or twelve guineas
a pig for more pigs than a sow ever bears at a litter.
