that may be done by a Court of Appeal: but it
may do all the mischief: and mischief is what
it must do as often as it does any thing. It can
not substitute an unjust a just a fit decree to an unjust one: unfit one
it can not so much as annul an unfit one decree
on account on the ground because of its unfitness for being an unfit
one: if it destroys an unfit unjust decree it can only
be for the breach of some rules which ought never to
have been made: and in this way it is just as
capable of destroying a just and fit one. It is
more as likely the a decree which it has destroyd
should have been a just than as an unjust one: it
