Consequent denial
of justice to those
incapable of paying
for it

To lawyers of all sorts and sizes, there is convenience
maximized In consequence To non-lawyers one consequence
is that those he who have not wherewithal to pay for the
of justice a ticket in the justice lottery, in the character of
plaintiff goes to a certainty without justice and in this
situation are at least mere hulks if the whole population
with the exception of perhaps one : while in the character
of defendant he who can not pay the costs of defence
is in every instance between plaintiff and lawyers
to not complete and certain without possibility of
escape, the Judge having taken care to know nothing
about the matter, and having being thus as compleatly guiltless
of the unease he has produced, as a murderer would
be of murder by shutting his eyes while the bullet was
doing his office.

In penal cases the
troublesome part of
the business committed
to underlings

In a penal case the matter stands on a different
footing. Judges themselves could not save secure themselves against
having their houses broke open if the applicants were not
received as indiscriminately as here proposed to give
information respecting the higher class of most highly punished criminal offences.
But here too the Judge of the highest rank makes
his escape from responsibility and trouble in every shape
this troublesome part of the business is committed to an underling
who may be occupied about it for days while a small
part of the day is commonly all that is occupied by the great Judge
matters having been brought into preparation for that
purpose.

5
Convenience provided
for the underlings

Mention not small is the degree of convenience provided
for the underling subjudge and the class of those whom every body
knows. If the individual accused by the information given by
the is the whom nobody knows, the information being upon
oath the oath is sufficient for immediate incarceration, without any
such trouble as that of an inquiry into the trustworthiness of the
informant.
