Note 8(a)
In the rude ages In those rude ages in which the germ of the existing systems
of procedure first began to develop itself how should any
such suspicion have presented itself to men's minds?
From At the close of the 18th Century it had never presented
itself to the penetrating mind of Adam Smith. He saw no harm
in fees: neither in the character of a principle of corruption,
nor yet in the character of an ill-seated a mis-seated tax. To him it never
occurred that the persons who derive the least benefit from the protection
afforded by the Courts of Justice, are those who are forced into them
in the capacity of suitors. The protection which others a suitor pays for, perhaps
by all he is worth, non-suitors enjoy gratis. See Protest against
Law Taxes.
