At In the earliest stages of the system and for a long time afterwards, the
doors of the Temple of justice could not be shut directed in the Suitor's

be his own act. Every difficulty, every disgust that could be thrown in
his way was to be heaped together. The same parallel acts are suggested
every where by the same interests and the same parallel kindred interests and parallel intentions. Suitors

possible.
