Procedure & Evidence
So far as it rests upon the parties, expence, like vexation,
Expence besides being in itself is an evil, is so an evil
in the character of a cause of other evils: viz. the evils
opposite to the several ends of procedure before mentioned. In
this its prolific decorative character the mischief flowing from it will be found much
more heavier serious than that any which belongs to it considered in itself, and independently of
all consequences. But in this ulterior character it will find its
place under a separate head.
The word epithet technical is not unknown to in to the existing system
of procedure. Among English lawyers Applied to the word reasons, it is in
familiar use. On all those occasions every such occasion, technical is put employed by
euphemism, instead of sham or nonsensical. Connected
with this epithet, whatever be the reason, that is the f assemblage
of words given under the name of reason you will find it
either stark nonsense, or (what comes to the same thing) a mass of propositions words as best, altogether inconclusive and irrelevant:
a proposition such as nothing but power, and prejudice beget begotten by power
would have screened from universal contempt, such as never passes
would have passed for a reason without the support given granted by
coercive law, such as would not in the field on the ground of any other branch of , or on any other occasion of
the common occasions of life pass for a reason upon any man man woman
not or child, not so much as upon the man of law himself who uses
it by whom it is honoured with that name.
