1823 Decr.
Constitutional Code

When it is really his intention, as that a check – the
usual check, should be applied to lying, he applies it
accordingly; when the suit is once got into the hands
of his brethren fraternity, he applies the check: examining an extraneous
witness he calls in a non penal case enquête, in
a penal case instruction. In a non penal case examining
a party he calls interrogation sur faits et articles. This
diversity so agreable to every eye that loves perplexity &
confusion he found in french law and has left in it.
This interrogation he has the generosity to declare
may have place in any (etat) stage of the cause: but in
the first place he has taken care – the care that has
been seen – that the cause shall be safely lodged in the
hands of those whose interest it is that operations should
previously have been performed and instruments manufactured
with the help of nullities for the production of
more operations and more instruments, to as copious an
amount as possible. If under the check in question
before any individual in the character of defendant
had been plagued, the would-be pursuer had been admitted
and obliged to state his case to an unfeed Judge, suits
plainly groundless would as above have been nipt in the bud
and where the nature of the case admitted of reconciliation,
a door to reconciliation opened.

Of the sort of Court Judicatory, in the establishment of which
the word Reconciliation or the equivalent of it, was first
employed, the object was, to keep disputes between man &
man, in as large proportion as might be out of the hands
of those whose interests
& consequently
endeavour, it is to employ
them as instruments
for squeezing
out of both as much
money as possible:
and in a certain
proportion this was
and is done.
