Evidence

Whether the declaration (the result produce of the sham appearance
substituted to the real one) be in respect of the facts matter of fact alledged by
it be true or false, the sequel is equally secured sure
viz. the obligation on the part of the defendant to go on with
the cause or take upon him submitt to the burthen sought due or undue which it is the
object of the demand to impose upon him. Be the demand therefore ever so
compleatly unfounded either in law or in fact, and on the part of the plaintiff
himself ever so fully understood to be so, if on the part of the defendant is this
either unable or unwilling to oppose it – be a either of the ability or the inclination necessary to go on
with the suit – (to carry it on to the period when at which
the Judge for the first time permitts a syllable to be said to him on the subject takes real cognizance of it
the effect of the demand is alike equally secured. But to persons in a certain condition in life a certain
portion part of the people are in a condition which deprives them
altogether compleatly of the ability possibility of carrying on a cause to this period:
is compleatly wanting and in this condition are is the vast majority of the people.

In this condition then are the vast majority of the people placed
by the mere substitution of the technical system to the natural –
of the technical system in its least oppressive form, and without the
addition made to the yoke, as will be seen presently, by the milstone lead of
Special pleading. A sure mode method of oppression, instituted
by authority, and be at so easy a price as that – at the price of a lie, and that
not exempted not only from punishment but from shame, for the declaration is
the joint and regular act of the Attorney
and the Special Pleder,
nor is the party thus Client
it even so much as looked
at or so much as heard
of unless by accident
by the party inwhose discourse
it purports to be
, the
faculty of exercising this oppression put into the hands of every
man who is at the same time rich enough and unscrupulous
enough to purchase it.
