Judges Number
9 Universal competence — Reasons. Special jurisdiction would require either 1. A special Court & thence additional expence & 2. Uncertainty by conflict of jurisdiction 3. Primitive justice Of course in every district the same Judge
ought to have wo all sorts of causes ought
to come alike under the cognizance of the Judge:
except in a few particular cases for special reasons.
For if there were any any sort of cause that did
come under the cognizance of the Judge in ordinary
such extraordinary cause would require an additional
Judge, which by the supposition is more
than can be afforded.
10 Uncertainty of confusion is the result of metaphysical boundary-lines between jurisdictions This unity universality of jurisdiction is not more favourable
to economy than it is to simplicity and
thence to expedition and as well as to economy in another
point of view. Conflicts of jurisdiction and multiplication
of unnecessary incidents are the effect of
the distribution of different sorts of causes amongst
different sorts of courts. Geography not metaphysics
ought to draw the boundary-lines between
jurisdictions ought to be not metaphysical but geographical.
10 The abundance of such laws in the European constitutions is owing partly to abuse partly to local & temporary reasons The complication which prevails on this head
more or less in every country in Europe is the owing
result either partly to of blind imitation, partly of to considerations
of utility which subsist no longer.
