1823. Decr
Constitutional Code.
Ch.
§.
2
Seeing this, no small share of confidence in union
with appropriate knowledge & judgement, must be
the lot of the intended claimant or accuser, if he does
not feel the necessity of resorting in the first instance
to professional assistance: thus then perhaps for
something, perhaps for nothing, the Legislator sends
the citizen to an Attorney who calls in probably an
advocate, who between them pen the instrument and give it
to the equivalent of a Bum-bailiff — all three with the
fear or hope of nullity before their eyes: in which case
all that has been done goes for nothing and requires to
be done over again & a second batch of fees to be paid
for it.
The thing to be done by this expensive process
what is it? neither more nor less, than the affording
satisfaction to the Judge. The short way and in every
other business but law, the only way that would ever
be thought of is — the putting it at once to the man
in question, when he is satisfied to say as much, but
in this case, whatever there would be no fees for the Judge were for any body else,
whatever there were for the Judge.
