say personal interest to have been on all occasions the solely operating motive
listened to in the construction of the legal fabric would be to to fall

sinister interests ruled without a rival, the system could
have been less beneficial to the trust the people in their quality of suitor,
more beneficial to the workmen, than it has actually been
made: making allowance made for those minor and accidental

of place and time.
