Procedure – First Series

Chap.
Of Costs of Suit.

On the course taken in regard to costs, depends
in a main degree the character and effect of the
whole body of the laws.

Hitherto, in all the several established systems,
the course pursued in this field in relation
to this subject has been such, as to place & keep deny
to the great majority of the people, in so far as possible,
the protection of the Law: to place and keep
them in a state of outlawry. Such is necessarily
the effect, in so far as a price being set, to be paid
by suitors for those services by which the protection
of the Law is afforded, that price is such as the majority
of those who have need of that protection
have not wherever that are enabled to pay.

Misrule in this shape has for it's cause, that
which misrule in every other shape has for it's
cause. The law having for it's makers that class of
men whose interests are in a state of incurable
opposition to those of the vast majority of the people:
viz. the Monarch, the privileged orders and
the Lawyers, they have of course been always
made for those by whom they were made, &
thereby not for but against the vast majority
of the people.
