Anglicé Costs the
grand instrument of
mischief
When through the instrumentality of an English judicature
depredation and oppression are committed, costs factitious cost are in
most cases the capital instrument. No complaint so frivilus
but that with the help of this instrument, the ruin
of any one of a vast majority of the whole population
may by to a certainty be accomplished: and to every
one who will make this use of it a and that
an ample reward is certainly held out

In case of trifling
defamation proceedings
as to costs under
natural procedure
By some trifling improbable cost in to his reputation of by testor
a correspondently trifling injury wrong is bestowed by Sales
Under Natural Procedure at the first and only interview
of the parties before the Judge, the matter would
be settled between them: Notes recovery and the law
of Sales an acknowledgment of the with
expression of regret for the having given utterance to it,
and in unapt compensation for the two days of
Notes's time concerned in the application for redress.
One by the application made to the Judicature for the
mandate requiring the attendance of Stiles,
the other by the attendance paid by Notes in consequence:
fees to Judge or Judges attendants none:
fees to Advocates or Attorney none: as such assistance being
of the least use

Do under technical
procedure
So much for Natural Procedure. How stands the matter
under technical procedure The suit carried on in the usual
manner at the usual expence, and the compensation being
proved — the foolishness of it at the same time made manifest,
the Judge informs the Jury that they are bound to find
the Defendant guilty but that the damages are at their
optics, and the sum appointed to be paid on that score may
be as small as they please.
