§. Beneficial consequences of these explanations.

If these explanations were regularly brought forward at the
opening outset of each cause, the day which saw gave best the commencement
of the cause would in nine instances out of ten, a certain
number for a necessarily uncertain one, witness the conclusion
of it: the expence and profit of professional assistance
would in that case be on each side either superseded altogether, or confined
within the compass of a single attendance in Court, with or
without a previous one in private.

Where the cause, not being at that degree of simplicity
requi was of a nature to require subsequent examinations
vivâ voce or in the way of correspondence correspondential – subsequent exhibitions productions
of real or written evidence, and so forth at
subsequent and separate times, at any rate the quantity of
necessary delay, vexation and expence might be aimed at at least by
conjecture, and provision made accordingly: the succeeding or
at least the next succeeding time of attendance might be fixed
– not as at present by blind and unbinding rules, but by
a measure taken from the time at the disposal of the Judge, and the mutual
ability and convenience of the parties , delay would thus
take place, but only because it were unavoidable, and in proportion
as it was unavoidable: for the same cause, and in the
same proportion, vexation and expence; and of expence that
which assumed went in the shape of profit to the man of law in
all his varieties in the same various shapes.
