Ch. Costs
(2 §. Costs the grand instrument
of mischief

Farthing damages
but enormous costs
The damages they accordingly assess at a 1 farthing. Defendant
triumphant but the triumph is a dear bought one. Behind the
farthing lies a sum of from $150 to £300 in the name
of costs. Sadly contrary to the expectation of the unhappy
pyrrhic by whom this triumph has been engaged. If he has
no more than a moderate store of business whatever his employment
may be, another such triumph is not necessary
to the accomplishment of his ruin: the single one is
sufficient: when to his adversary's own costs, his share of the adversaries are also
added.

Attorney set plaintiff
to work
Who set the plaintiff to work? The Attorney for each
of their two or three hundred pounds the Attorney pockets an
inconsiderable share: thereupon comes the usual
against Attorneys l what sad wasterd are the these Attorneys!

And Judge & Co the
attorney
But who set the Attorneys to work? The Judge
and the House of Commons Lawyers. By them whom then was this
system of depredation created and preserved? By
the Judge was it not created? by the Lawyer in both Houses
their descendants and others bound taken together by the law of
the same sinister interest, preserved, preserved in a
regular way by here taken more to introduce any person
that can operate as a remedy, compleatly usual as
is the remedy: positively by standing up and being known to be
in constant readiness to stand up to oppose with all
the zeal that interest and what begotten prejudice can
expose, whatsoever proposed, remedy shall bring in the fear of it
a any promise of being productive of the effect.

Universal Depredation the
result of this
villainy
By burthen By one of both descriptions
is not a reward — a real reward perpetualy held out to
every body who will put in for it possible the production
of mercy in numerous qualities by villainy in every the
blackest shape. Where is the in the props of
they do not look to be slaves? Where is the villainy so long
as instead of punishment it is reward that they reap from it
they
they are not at such time
ready to do the utmost
to render triumphant!
