1826. June July 1.
Procedure or Penal Code

Ch. Preface or Introduction
(1 § . 1 Judges &c. exposed — why?

No half measures! Justification impossible; atonement, not
Silence under accusation such as J.B. a proof of consciousness of their truths

§ . Depravity of the creators and preservers of the existing System
thus exposed

§ . The sinister interest of the Judges and other persons by creators and preservers of
where the existing System has been created in have unsparingly exposed — why why thus exposed

The existing system
is in the most
perfect degree virtuous
in its end origin in its in its
principle, it its details
and from first to last
in its details. It is
unamendable

Of these practices proof
and confirmation will
be found under any
head that presents itself

Reasons why the exposure is necessary two. Such as were Uses and purposes
of this exposure, two.

1. In addition to the abundance of direct proofs Contemplating on the part of the people in
general by the presumptions thus afforded the pursuance of
the utter magnitude of the whole system with reference to its
professed purpose.

2. Destroying the species of influence without the destruction
of which no effectual remedy can in the nature of the
case ever be ever applied: to wit the influence of the understanding
on the part of its functionaries and other persons in question on
the understanding of those whose interest it is that no apt
system should be substituted to an apt one

1. Destroying the effect of the presumptive counter-evidence
1. A year and a half consumed for example in procuring
an answer and nothing more at the hands of a defendant
in a case in which supposing him attendant in consequence
of or summation before the Judge in face of the Plaintiff
one hour and a half would be more than sufficient to give
termination to the suit. Proof the multitude of cases determined
in S. Small Debt Court as per Hutton each in much less
than that time: cases in every one of which had the suit been
brought before a Court called a Equity Court be it the abovementioned time
would must if the defendant pleases have elapsed before
so much as an answer could be extracted from him. See
Chancery Commissioners Report and Attorney General Copley's
Speech towards the close of the last Session of the last Parliament
Ao 1826

All Taken by itself, all this appears undeniable says an
objector: but if an hour and a half is sufficient for the whole of
the suit how can you account for a year and a half's being
in the unanimous of judgment of men so continually well acquainted
with
with the business, not more
than sufficient for part
more easily can I answer
you to have misrepresented
the matter or myself to have mis it than that so many presumably learned and dignified Judges and the high penitencers, for such a succession of should have concurred without
a dissenting voice in the giving existence and continuance to so mischievous
and a system of degradation and
