Turkish Law v. English Law. Another virtue of
the Turkish law is, that every man is his own bailiff
and summoner, without the plague of process, returns,
alias, pluries, and I know not what hooks and crooks,
that often beggar a suitor before he can bring his adversary
to answer him. But a man requiring
the adversary to go before the Judge, he must without
shift or delay go; and if he offers to escape, a thing
scarce known there, he must run quite away, for
the very people will almost destroy him if they
catch him. Here is no suing out a writ, going
to the Sheriff, from him to the Bailiff, with a further
train of ill consequences I am ashamed to remember.
And it is a prodigious wonder that in a civilized
country, pretending to liberty and laws, men shd.
so little consider, that all the court process of law
had it's original in conquest, and the consequent tyranny
of the conqueror, who made himself the vendor
of common Justice - and the trade is still kept
afoot by corrupt interests,- and after all, that they
should idolize this dreg of slavery, and blindly support
a direct oppression of themselves, as if it were
really a happy economy of Justice and Liberty!
