Procedure Code.
2.
Ch.
§. 7
Uncertain is the profit
of the surest trade — ready
money trade excepted —
is compared to that of
the dishonest suitor in
this House of Lords — Judicatory.

Uncertain, indeed, is the profit of the surest
trade — ready money trade excepted — in
comparison of this trade, in which the most dishonest
man alive is so sure of numbering among
his partners the Lawyers of all sorts and
sizes with the Lord High Chancellor at their head.
These gains — is there any thing in them, or in the
source of them — that is not, or has not always
been completely known to all that ever shared in
them? over and over and over again have not
they been told of it — in the openest manner told
of it? Can it be a secret to them or any of them
that it is by the rankest, the foulest, the most
indefensible injustice that this gain has all along
been flowing into their pockets? Can it be a secret
to them that of this injustice not the obscure individuals,
but these pretended ministers of injustice
have been the prime authors — the suborners — have
they not been as clearly the prime authors of it
as any suborner ever was of perjury? Are not
acts as intelligible as and a little loss less exposed
to be deceptions than words and professions, and
declarations? Can it be a secret to them or any
of them how much per cent they have been in
the habit of making by being sharers in this dishonesty?
Suppose it ten per cent. Would the act
have been less immoral had the head upholder
of the whole system published an advertisement
addressed to all dishonest men, having each of them
a sum of other people's money, of to the amount
of £10,000 or upwards in their hands, saying to them
come to me, and for every £100 I put you in possession
of give me £10, the £90, shall be yours.

Of the part acted by
the individual in this
system of cooperation, no
body doubts the reader
of the part acted by the
Judge of all classes by
whom consistently
the reputation of the
ordinary can
the appear dubious
Is it not got this, is it for any thing better, that in what
is called Equity Procedure in the Court below the House,
no answer from an unwilling Defendant can be obtained
in less time than that at the end of a year and a half from
the commencement. ☞. Then go on thus as to the House
of Lords
