Procedure & Evidence
From such a the course of such interest, such knowledge
and such power – all in the same hands, what clue could the only result
rationally have been be to be expected than seems to be the compleat sacrifice
of the interest of the suitor to the interest of the lawyer of the
lawyer in his several in all his shapes: of the whole body of the community, to
that of a comparatively narrow, though unhappily but too
ample class – that if any thing like justice were administered
upon any occasion it would if the legitimate
ends of procedure were consulted ministered to upon any occasion, it would
be no further than in so far as the pursuit of those true
ends served as an occasion and pretence for the pursuit of the sinister ends
and as a means of reconciling me to the vexation and expence
imposed upon them for that purpose in that pursuit: and that as often as it happened is
as the adverse disparate ends – the legitimate and the sinister, to
come into competition, and the performance could with any
assurance of satisfy safety be given to the sinister, the legitimate
would be sure to be sacrificed made a sacrifice of without remorse.
How far this natural tendency these natural tendencies have been realized themselves
and carried ripened into effect, the ensuing pages may perhaps help to
shew.
