Evidence

1. Choice of the Court in qua Forum in quo — English law.
If the this is that consideration of utility, the the urgency of it is it appears the
If in consideration In the the if a consideration thought appear obvious, obvious that the mention of it
seems negatory, be sure of finding it neglected in English law.

In the fixation of the Court forum in quo the only consideration here
regarded, is the convenience of the parties: the term is the difference, as the case may be on the same occasion, this
is not the only consideration not attended to in English law

with a of giving him that option that will after all the pretended
exertions pretended to be taken with a view to certainty, the question topic is
kept afloat and remains still an co-exible source of fresh contests and
fresh fees. The plaintiff, that as his Attorney, choice makes
choice of that forum which best suits his the plaintiff: convenience but what
in the ordinary state of things the plaintiff never knows, and his Attorney always knows is —
that this fixation will not stand good, any further than the defendant adversary

as it is opposable or unopposable, opposed or not opposed
