Evidence

In such a state of things confusion of interests, what a demand created for vice
in various forms and colours, in high places! for fraud, for dissimulation, for simulation, for insincerity, for hypocrisy, for mendacity, for fraud!
What industry employed in transporting imparting borrowing the arts of the theatre into the sanctuary
of justice! – What eagerness to do as much as possible in appearance or little as possible
to die lament over the disease, while the cause of it was
protected, cherished and inflamed! On every favourable occasion, on occasion of what indignation
against chicane, what sympathy for the afflicted vexed and pillaged suitor, what
zeal for substantial justice!

Such would have been the natural course of things had the system with its
principle of corruption, remained to be planted in an enlightened a polished age. – But in fact the truth
in the rude ages in which it was reared gradually into maturity, no such arts labour was necessary: backed by irresistible
power, the grosses conduct
was adequate to the purpose:
the grosses conduct, accompanied
by the f coarsest
language.

Of the effects of such an arrangement, under English jurisprudence, in
that golden age when that age of promethean simplicity, when Oppression and
depredation went naked without being ashamed, a sample will be found
in the Note below.(a)
