Numbers necessitate
delay, and thence
increase of expence
Were the advantage to be derived from
numbers in point of intelligence
as considerable as it is otherwise, it would
be more than paid for by the disadvantage
it is attended with in point of delay and
the expence which is connected with it.
Numbers necessarily breed delay almost necessarily in
some stage of ever in every cause in propor-
-tion as they take a part are employed in it, and they
are liable to breed useless delay at every step
in a thousand ways.
Each opinion requires time to give it in
and time for giving the arguments reasons on which it
grounds itself: diversity multitude of opinions introduces
contrarity: thence discussion and debate. Different
Debate produces
adjournments for
conciliation.
judges find different strings of questions
put and different measures and expedients to propose. Each
opinion requires time to give it in, and time for
giving the argument if any on which it grounds
itself: diversity multitude of opinions introduces
contrarity: thence discussion debate and
adjournments for conciliation: and every adjournment
as well as every fresh taken step
taken by the parties adds to the expence.
