To say then that in the construction of the fabrick of procedure
the interest of the suitors and of the public or in other words which is as much as to
say the due administration of justice was really in fact the object
of the constructors, is as much as to say that the object
of Octavius before during or after his triumvirate, was the
happiness and tranquillity welfare of the Roman world, or the object of the Norman
invasion, the happiness of the people of England. From
the success of that invasion, an injunction with millions of
other causes came the existing British constitution, with its
attendant blessings. But it may be asserted, with little if any
abatement or modification, that those blessings were as much fully
in the contemplation of the fortunate Norman, as the benefit
of the suitor was in the wishes and intentions intentions and aims of those venerable
personages by whose successive labours the system of English
procedure has been moulded into its present shape.

The station of the Judge A Judge it may occurr is one; that of the Advocate, another:
that of the Agent, a third, the system fabrick of procedure
is the work not of either of the two latter, but of the first exclusively:
not of those whose conduct is regulated by it, but
of those who rule it. True: but without speaking of the present present
times
state of things which is not here in question, speaking only
of past times on which the foundation were laid, and the
state plan determined of the architecture determined – so it has been was
those interests, howsoever nominally distinct, have really been
if not inseparable, undiscovered.
