A distinction that coincides in some points with the above, is
a distinction the terms of which are much more familiar –
viz: that between the summary mode of procedure summary and regular, and the regular.
But the two terms appellations are wanting in question – natural and
summary on the one hand, technical and regular on the
other hand – want much of being interconvertible. B Each Taken
in the aggregate, natural procedure as above described is beyond
comparison more summary, more expeditiously dispached than
the regular. The former has of course naturally the prevention of delay for
its object, the latter as natural for the reason already mentioned the production of that
inconvenience. But in the nature of things it is not in
the power of the natural procedure system to be alike summary in all cases.
Causes there are of which form a dozen to a score may be begun
and ended by the same Judge in the compass of the same day: by and happily
of a nature thus favourable to dispatch a the great majority of
causes. But of the a necess at the commencement of the cause the database of a necessary witness
be at the antipodes, the time spent in necessary to voyage round the globe
will be but a part of the space of time necessarily inclosed included between the commencement
of the cause and the termination of it. In the 2d
and 3d modifications as above described of the natural system of procedure, it is
the impossibility of summary justice if by summary justice be
understand the speedy termination of the cause results from the
characteristics circumstances by which the necessity of demand for the correspondent
durations from the shortest and straitest course is produced. In this
occasion as on all others, delay consumption lapse of time is the natural and necessary
result of local distance. But natural procedure aims if worse
aims in every case at being summary; and in proportion as it fails
the failure is the result not of this system considered in itself, much less of
the system considered in contradistinction to the technical, but to causes exterior
to both, and to each of them alike .
