Evidence

It is The ardent interest of the suitor, which is as much as to say of
the public, that the mass of collateral inconveniences, delay, vexation and expence – the avoidance
of which constitutes the collateral general end of justice and judicial procedure,
should be in each in every instance reduced to its minimum:
It is the interest of law, that in every instance that disastrous mass, taken in the
lump, be swelled and extended drawn out to the maximum. Not
that by delay as such – not that by vexation as such –
not that even by expence as such, he has any thing to gain:
or any motive that should prompt him to swell the account
of mischief: but so intimately are between those three branches
of the mischief so intimate is the connect, that no one
can be extended to contracted, but the two others are more or less extended
or contracted along with it: and between the expence of the
suitor and the profit of the man of law in his several varieties, there is that unfortunate
connection that the profit can not be extended,
but the expence must be extended never in a less degree,
most commonly in a much greater: and between the expence
on the one hand, and delay and miscellaneous vexation on the other, this
unfortunate connection is still more intimate.

Taking therefore the whole mass of collateral inconvenience together
delay, vexation and expence, the relation which in point of interest
the man of law bears stands in to the suitor, the man in of power
to the man subject to his power, has been pretty much of a price with that which the architect who is paid by a
per centage stands in with reference to his employer: for
every shilling of profit which he a professional man puts into his own profit, he
is obliged to saddles his employer with twenty some number
of times the expence.
