Evidence

In the natural order of things, tribunals are in such manner
distributed over the face of the country that in each instance the field of judicial of each the local authority
is but the local field of domestic labour intercourse moderately enlarged.
If both suitors have without so it be, that the abodes of both suitors are situated lie within
the compass limits of the same judicial territory field district both have it in their power
to repair to the judgment seat and to return to their own houses within
the compass of the same day.

Such is would probably be found to be the actual order of things under the existing system among nations civilized
in general or even uncivilized, without any other exception than
what is afforded by British the British Islands judicature.

When therefore both parties have their habitation abodes in the same
judicial district, and that district of a moderate extent as
above described, procedure commencing and carried on by simultaneous appearance
is no less practicable feasable in the political than in domestic judicature.

But within the dominions of the same under the government of the same sovereign state, such is the
extent of empire and such the dispersion of the provinces its members in these modern
our times, it may happen that one province shall be situated
in one part of the globe, another in another part so distant
as even to be opposite. In such a state of things Few it is evident, if any, are the
causes the importance of which is sufficient that can make it worth while for a man to travel traverse spontaneously
much less be forced to traverse so vast a distance. In dealing with a baker a man has omitted to pay for a loaf:
in an altercation with a neighbour a man has lifted up his hand
in a threatening posture, or let drop a harsh an injurious word. All these acts are
injuries, the two latter offences, trespasses in some sort against the public purse.
Not to redress these injuries is in each instance an injustice. But as gold,
so may even justice be bought too dear. Such in the case of the forced
voyage
