Preface or Introduction
§. 1. This the first system of procedure of which justice was the ob first object
Without much danger of errors the present
may be stated as being the very first system of judicial
procedure that ever had for its object or say
end-in-view the giving execution and effect given to the
system of substantive law or more shortly the end
of justice. T In regard to the substantive system In every country the system it
had of course for its end in view the particular end interest of
the men rulers in power whoever they were by whose power
alone execution and effect could in any degree be
given to it. In these one persons the whoever they
were they could not suffice for applying to individual
cases and individual persons and things such regulation
and institution as they took upon them to establish, ordain
it was therefore matter of necessity for them to delegate
that function to others in a word in a word to Judges to others who in virtue
of this delegation became Judges. But as the particular
interests of legislators gave rise to the system of legislation, so did the
particular interests of Judges give rise to j the system of
judicature. But when two different particular interests
and corresponding aptitudes even those both together brought into notice, both could not
receive compleat satisfaction; of the several objects of
general desire such the whole aggregate was coveted by
each and the whole could not be had by each: a an sort
an adjustment a partition in some proportion or other
was necessary. A partition was not only necessary to and
possible: a compromise was not possible. A compromise
supposes a mutual explanation: on the part of each party
a declaration and avowal of his pretension
But
Sinister interest expence
a necessary preliminary
viz. to take off the opposing
weight of authority:
for till this opposition is
removed there comes the
argument from the matchless
constitution intellectual
aptitude and the
aptitude of the
opposite
