Evidence
Here then we have separate & distinguishable
five distinct masses of advantage reaped by the lawyer
from every penny of factitious expence added by him
to the expence naturally attendant on the system
of procedure: – 1. immediate pecuniary profit: viz.
the amount of the profit extracted by him out of
that expence from the suits which it has not had
the effect of preventing – the number of profit yielding
suits remaining the same. 2. ease, by the amount
of unprofit yelding suits prevented by it. 3. pecuniary
profit produced in a less immediate way by
the encrease in the number of profit-yielding suits
amount of mala fide oppression suits, mala fide
demands and mala fide defences, suits produced by
the man of law by selling the irresistible faculty
of oppression to every wrong doer who finding his
adversary destitute of the faculty of resistance is
able & willing to make the purchase come up to the vendor's price –
4. convenience of acting in pleasant company –
5. convenience of not being troubled by unwelcome
company.
