complication – 1. extension of unemployed time: 2. extension of the time
employed in this or that one of the requisite operations of procedure. – Not any
different under of procedure

Delay is then consumed or suffered to run on, upon any
occasion, in a quantity greater than where is being on that occasion considered as necessary
or desirable.

Space is the place of body matter – and therefore delay, time, of action motion.

The delay natural or factitious produced in a cause suit – by the above of or any other cause, complication,
will be partly consist partly of void space, unfilled
by any operating tending or professing to tend towards the ends of
the proper ends of procedure, partly of time employed and expended
in those several respective operations.

Of unemployed time or delay, to quantity altogether a cause, any a quantity of time altogether unlim without limit may
and the aggregate local happens to be consumed, on the
indefinite is producible by distance in respect of place. The
quantity of time employed, is expended in giving place to the several ground scope of local distance. In so far as it this quantity of time is occupied by journies
respective operations. and the in no part as of the quantity of time thus occupied no part is unnecessary
no part of the delay thus occasioned can be said to be unnecessary,

of any exceptions, on the ground
of distance, or any other ground.
