16 May 1805
Evidence

It is time the strain upon the reader's conception were
relaxed: it is time the mystery were unravelled.

In Denmark the characteristic features appear to have
been these. I put place in front those which present themselves appear to have been
the special causes of whatever has been done: in the rear,
those of which the highest praise is that of not having been uncompliant
obstacles.

1. First step, the Meeting of both all parties in the presence of the Judge Court,
the characteristic feature of the natural system of procedure, in contradistinction to the technical.

2. No professional lawyer suffered to set his foot either on
the bench or so much as at the bar, an arrangement
desirable as far as it is practicable, but in some cases
scarce not practicable absolutely impracticable.

3. Fees, none at all, or so inconsiderable as not to be felt.

3. 4. The parties neither of them upon oath, nor in any other
way punishable, understand by legal punishment, as for mendacity.

4. 5. For proceedings secret from first to last.

6. The Officers, so many bees without stings, serpents without
teeth, Judges without power to inform, or to procure the
enforcement of their own decrees: in recompense an unlimited
power of preaching and giving good advice.

7. No plaintiff in any cases within the jurisdiction of
this Court, permitted to ask a defendant into any other
Court, without having given him a previous option of meeting
him at one of these Courts.
