Procedure or Evidence
Ch. Expence – viz: juridical expence.
Expence, it may scarce hope be said, is in the case in question but a branch of vexation: or,
if in this case the two objects are capable of being in themselves distinguished
yet it is only in respect of he vexation issuing from it, that
expence in the line of procedure as in any other, expence is
inverted to a any place in the list of evils. Then why make
a separate article of expence, and put the putting the species upon the same
line on the logical scale with its that genus?
I answer.
The reason is – For this reason – comparing expence with vexation in
other shapes it will be found that they have not in every instance always
or in the same degree, the same causes and or the same remedies.
They will not therefore be in every instance combated on the same
place, or by the same weapons.
1. They have not the same causes.
Vexation in any other shape than expence is an a sort of evil which
generally speaking no man except a party in the cause, nor in
the instance of the adverse party, nor he always, has any natural
interest in giving birth to the production producing. Expence is an evil which
but too many men men in but too great numbers and of too great a variety of descriptions
and those but too well able enabled to accomplish their purposes have
an interest in producing on as many occasions in producing, on as great a variety of occasions, and in
as great quantity on each occasion, as possible.
