Appeal

VIII Curia para
With regard to the Parochial Courts there would be
no difficulty on this head. The same may be said
of the Committees Canton-Courts extending over
a territory of between 5 and 6 miles square. If
the District territory of the District Courts could be
reduced brought reduced to this scantling abovementioned it would
be a prodigious blessing. I should hope to find the territory of the District Courts in general and within this scantling The expence of travelling
might then be struck out altogether out of the inventory
catalogue costs of judicature: and thus what may be termed
the natural expence of that branch of government
might be reduced within a compass very narrow
indeed.

A question that will naturally occurr is, why
in the case where a cause comes before a District-Court
in the first instance, omitting the Parochial Court I give an
appeal on the spot to a Court of no greater
extent of territory, and in that respect of no greater dignity?
I answer, that the necessity of revision
My reasons are as follows.
1. I am certain Neither I my Parochial Courts
nor the Canton-Courts of the Committee can suffice as the business divided by the Committee among Courts is embraced by one of mine
for the cognizance of all causes even in the first instance either in point of
responsibility or intelligence: there must therefore be
a District Court of immediate jurisdiction. 2 .
