30 May 1805
Evidence

In whatsoever community expence to any considerable amount
is factitiously attached, in the character of an indispensable condition,
to the faculty of obtaining the end of justice, justice
is in effect denied refused to the great body of the people: say to
nine out of en three out of four; say to ninety men out of a hundred thirty men out of forty: according
to the relative quantum of this part of the expence: of the
matter of wealth, of the means of subsistence, they have but a
bare sufficiency for ordinary occasions; they have nothing at
all for this extraordinary one.

In this way it is, that under the arrangement in
question, it is the interest of the Judge to refuse his aid
to doing justice to the great body of the people: In
in respect of those rights, the claim of which presents itself
in in a non-penal shape. It is seen already by what simple
that to him by whom a faculty of adding without stint to
the quantum of factitious expence is possessed, that power can never
be wanting. We shall see hereafter in whatever particular way by what particular contrivances
that power has exercised displayed itself: and at the same time in how
high a degree that deplorable effect has actually accordingly been produced.
