Vexation what
Art. Instead of delay, vexation and expence
say rather expence, vexation and delay
By vexation understand in this case on this occasion vexation
at large — vexation in shapes other than that in
which it is produced by expence: for only in so far as
vexation is produced does expence belong to the category
of evil: by expence employed in the position of an
instrument of an
instrument of pleasure, in no shape unless when
is it productive of evil unless m employed in the
production of pain, or in the nature of some greater
and more valuable pleasure
9
Delay what
Delay is a twofold evil: an evil adverse
at once to the direct and to the collateral ends of justice
So long as it lasts, it prevents the accomplishment of the direct
ends of justice: [the one or the other according to the nature of
the case]; and so long as it last if in the course
of it a means of proof necessary to the accomplishment
of the practice is of the singular direct end of justice perishes,
it not only retards but ultimately prevents the accomplishment
of the ends of justice; to justice it substitutes injustice.
And the longer it lasts the greater the quality
it produces of expence probably, of vexation at large,
certainly.
