Review of Humphreys

L
§§, Observations miscellaneous
(1) § Genealogical Succession
Partition or non-partition?

Objection to equal
partition

To the system of equal partition the danger of destruction
in value by reduction to unpalpable parts were an the objective
opposed by Mr. H. was the fear of a peremptory one
and of one in the comparatively consensual system of procedure
which has place in French law would before the decree was
at an end suffice to cut up the value, how much easier would
it not be eaten up by the costly English one which is several
times as expensive?

Answer

Answer. Before it arrived at this length the consequence
would be individual interest operative in the strongest degree would
stop it: no price but here and there a madman would profer
its must the destroying of the whole order here as among
the rest. No. it would come under the heresies: and as
expected and thence bidders would be so much more numerous
here than in France, the disposition to give that distinction
to it would so much the earlier come into act.

Then as to expence of procedure, so long as it continued
it might be a fatal one: but as the lawyer class though be
so much a too strong as is the strongest the landholders
and length being still stronger, the
a degree of reduction in the expence still that which
has place in France is in the nature of the case and would
be carried into effect.
