6
Cases undisputed

as ordinary cases
of debt.

the most frequent: such are actions demands of debt
against accompanied with indisputable proof against
an unwilling or unable debtor: for instance upon a note of hand Of this stamp
are perhaps 99 out of a hundred of the civil
causes that occurs (a)

6(a)
English law

Note
(a) The law of England provides for this simplest of cases very simple case
no other remedy than that most complicated one which
it applies equally to the most complicated cases. The consequence
is that an unrighteous debtor is enabled to stave off for years a decision which
might have been given
the first day. Meantime
the fund which
if taken in time would
have sufficed to discharge
the debt is consumed in the purchase of injustice.

7(b)
English Law

(b)The Law of England allows the Judge no discretion
as to either of those counts.
