Thus it is that in the very nature of the case things between the
interests of the suitor, in other words the ends of justice, the legitimate ends of judicature,
and the interests of the man of law, in other words the sinister
ends of the man of law, the illegitimate ends of judicature, there is
a wide and most unhappy difference, a strong and almost irreconcilable opposition:
and the party parties bound by the arrangements being altogether at
the mercy of the author authors of those same arrangements, the consequence of this disastrous state of things
and the fate of the weak weakness thus lying at the feet of the strong, may
without much difficulty be deduced from the general principles of human nature: and
whatsoever conception preconception may thus be formed a person will will receive
but too ample confirmation from demonstrated experience.

Vexation and delay (understand vexation distinct from and superadded to expence) are in conception distinguishable from
expence: but in reality so intimate is the connection between
the three modifications of the mass inconveniences attached to judicature
that a portion of either will seldom be produced, but that a fresh a portion
of each of the other will be found adherent to it. Of the particular nature
of this connection, more will be said in another place: at present, suffice
it to bring to view just to notice the existence of it.

Thus it is that to produce a comparatively given quantum of profit
to himself, the man of law, has found it either necessary or at least
convenient to impose upon the suitor not only an expence to
the same amount, but an expence frequently to a much greater amount,
aggravated by a mass of inconveniences in the shape of vexation
and delay, (not to speak insist upon the collateral vexations showered down
upon third parties without number or account) to a still greater amount.
