Constitutional Code Procedure

III
Ch. Ends of Judicature

(1 §. Means

§. Ends of Judicature Anglicé. Means,
III Rationale. Other Codes

By this Code
with its ends no other
course could have been
pursued

This Code having for its object the maximization of the
happiness of the greatest number and to that end the giving execution
and effect with the minimum of delay vexation and expence
and misdecision to the law made for the attainment of
that end, the course pursued in relation to verity on the
part of parties and witnesses and not to any other than than
that which we have seen

2
Different or rather opposite
the ends pursued
in the English: viz
1. Throwing the door
wide as possible to all
pursuers and defendants
rich enough to afford
lawyers and functionaries
profit.
2. Keeping it check
against all not rich
enough: thence saving
so much labour to
Judge and Co

Of all the Codes of Procedure which have as yet seen
the light at any rate of the most cle celebrated lauded of them,
the English [adopted retained as yet by the Anglo American
States] the object has been altogether different not to say
opposite. It has been twofold: Lauded as more ready it may be seen to have
opened the doors of the judicature
extracting out of every suit
as much money as possible from such would be suitors as have money:
keeping out of the judicatory all such suitors as
were should be unable to pay the price for that commodity wh on which
the name of justice was bestowed.
