Ch.1

Commencement of a sect.

Every suit must have its commencement: thus for in this circumstance 1
Commencement of a
by application to
Judge variety of
modes
all suits agree But different sorts of suits or suits of the same
suit may be command in any one of a considerable great variety of modes

2
Under proposed code
by application of some
individual to Judge

Under the present proposed Code every suit takes it
commencement on the one and same manner: application present application made by
some individual to the Judge. For to the Judge and to him alone belongs the
power to give execution and effect to it. A system of Procedure which takes its This accordingly may
ment them may therefore in so far as the progress correspondent with the
commencement as stiled the natural system of Procedure.

3
Application in the
course of the suit
must be made & when
better than at the
commencement

Sooner or later or at the same time or other without
an application by somebody the Judge unless is be of he himself sole
give commencement to the suit can not but be made. But if
made at all, at what other period can it with so much propriety
to made? be made with so little danger of substantive :
with so little if not in the shape of expence, vexation and
delay Expence is minimized: for the sole expence the standing expence of that of the Judication
excepted is that of the applicant's time: Vexation is minimized
for to in an other individual is vexation for in any other shape produced.
and in the case of that individual the vexation is more than compensated,
or he would not inflict it on himself: delay is also minimized:
or rather at this point it is extended.

In no other mode
commencement without
a mass of evil

In no other mode can commencement be given to a suit without
a mass of evil in the united shapes of expence, vexation and
delay to which there are no bounds.

judicatories and these suited stat with reference to facility of
appropriate to applicants are evidently manifestly indispensable. But
whatsoever be their number it follows not that in the mode of procedure
making Judication being out of the persons any the smallest difference should have place.
