1824. Decr.4
Procedure Code

Ch. application
(2 §. English practice

Here then was an unseen addition to the interest greatest
number of instances they could have hoped for under a any system not
thus
which had the ends of justice for its object the
ends of justice. For addition say rather multiplicity, reaped
by a
multiplicity, and by a high power [+] [+] With At one scrape it
gathered into the net,
amongst others the whole
tribe of dishonest debters
that is to say of such
debters as by this
encouragement they could
succeed in rendering dishonest.
Call this
principle the mendacity-licence principle or for shortness the
mendacity licence. It will Further on it will be seen imprudent
a taking it a licence: that management
to in this all comprehensively mischievous fate
might b not be to part of making any class in any class of human beings.

Calling it simply a licence is not doing justice to it
is not yet painting it in its genuine colours: for a depredation
is not mere principle but reward:
for when depredation
is the object of licence, licence contains in itself the
essence of reward.

This was not yet enough: it was almost enough for those
who acted in the name of law: its is not enough for those
who acted as if to give a zest to profligacy, almost in the name of Equity. It was enough for law,

men into it. In to the number of the falshood Censure Lawyers just contented themselves with
vague quantities, false assertions of notices and falsity on both sides
falshood — the demand, falshood in the defence,
false declarations, and false plea: all this licence in the
use, and in a comparatively small number of words with comparative
of irresistible depredator's profit

In the run of profligacy Not inconsiderable the advance thus made by Censure Law
In this part of the cause as in so many others
was left behind by Equity.
