1823 Nov. 2
Constitutional Code or Procedure

III
Ch Ends of Judicature

(3 § Means, practice
Anglicé

Having for its purpose each of them the obtaining in
the greatest possible number the obtaining customers
for such the commodity which in different forms under the name
of justice they hard to sell to such as could afford to purchase
it, the two sets of Judges pursued in pursuit of this same end
employed different means in a somewhat certain sort different.

1. The The way pursued by Judges whose Judicatories were called
Common Law Courts was to throw in the first place
to throw the doors wide open to all who whosoever chose to
inflict vexation in this shape to those towards whom
they thus acted the part of insurers: putting this by
the power of damnification this led to them putting arms
into their hands would without requiring any appearance
whatsoever of their entertaining so much as a belief well
or ill grounded of their having right on their side. [As
well might the Judge been stationed himself in a public street at the foot
of a bridge offering with a club in his hand offering it
to any one who had a fancy to employ it in breaking
the head or windows of any one with whom he had a
dispute.]

Of these Judicatories there grew up at an early period
three in number the Kings Bench Court the Common Pleas Court and the Exchequer Court each having cognizance given them of
those different sorts of demands: the Kings Bench having
cognizance of such demands in the sense of wrongs not considered
as p criminal, and the Exchequer Court of demands
of money made upon individuals on the score of
its being due to Government.
