18 June 1805
Evidence

To Without In the abuse of writing the suitor could never have been burthened may be seen we have the means of bringing about three
delays which are by with that prodigious load of expence, vexation and delay of which the exhibition of instruments of mutual altercation succeeding
one another at distinct intervals more or less distinct, are is the immediate particular
efficient cause. When an allegation is a mass of allegations committed to writing, and each
party is under an obligation or at liberty to answer the mass of allegations
exhibited by the other, an interval of time between the exhibition
of one such instrument, and the exhibition of another such instrument
can not be refused. It could not, even where were hired assistants
out of the question: much more where the necessity of employing assistants of that description, especially
if of different classes ranks, one behind another, has been contrived
to be created. Under the system of which vivâ voce testification examination as well of
parties in the presence of each other as of witnesses (extraneous witnesses wherever present) forms an essential a distinctive feature, those
all such altercations would of necessity naturally, and, saving accidental
ignorance or oversight necessarily come out at once, come out at
the first meeting.

But for Before this abuse of writing whatever reative allegations, without
relevant or irrelevant, true or false, were is came out in the course
of the cause, must have been exhibited by the parties, or in the accidental
case of inability to attend, by their gratuitous provider: interference for the
assistance agency of professional and hired agents assistants, neither as not even
in the character of assistants, much less in the character of proxies, could
there have been any real and felt, or plausible appearance of necessity
created. In the presence of the party, even where he is unfortunate
enough to be obliged to purchase the treacherous service of a hireling assistant,
the art of making business can never be carried to any extent approaching
to that to which it is carried of course where that check to professional
treachery is removed.
