Such has been the end, the sinister end to the attainment by which the operations
of the man of law, the constructor of the technical system, have all as will be seen,
but more especially at the commencement along, been directed. Such the sinister the illegitimate end
of judicature: what then it may will naturally be asked is its relation, whence
its opposition to the straight, the legitimate ends of judicature, the ends of justice?
The question is a reasonable one, and the answer is as follows.

What is profit to the law man of law is expence to the
suitor: the object thing subject matter the same, the name only different denomination alone diversified, according
to person in with relation to whom it becomes the subject of discourse.
The difference is that of the expence money that goes on an occasion of this sort in the shape of
expence goes out of the pocket of the suitor, it is not seldom the whole,
seldom more than a part that in the shape of profit, goes into
the pocket of the man of law.

This difference this deficiency is matter of misfortune to the
suitor to the whole amount of it. The suitor lying altogether at the mercy
of the man of law, the expence expenditure actually imposed has in a great
measure been created and imposed by him on purpose, for the
sake purpose of the profit to be extracted from out of the expence expenditure. But as the
quantum of expence being created by the man of law, has been dependent
upon his pleasure, though under this condition that no more than
a certain part of it a certain proportion of it can be in the shape
of profit be swept by him into his own pocket, hence it is that
the suitor has every where, in the hands of the man of law, the sovereign arbiter of his fate found himself in the situation of an
unexperienced lawyer in the hands of a dishonest Architect, paid by a per
centage in proportion to the expenditure: for every penny which the
trustee puts can put into his own pocket, he finds himself under the necessity
of taking another or perhaps an indefinite a number of others out of the pocket of the unhappy
principal.
