1826. Decr 7.
J.B. v. Sugden.

(2)

that he looks to Common in preference to Statute
Law? No — that which Mr Sugden wants, is
the continuance of that pretended rule of action,
which will warrant him in saying whatever
be the question — whatever part of the field of
law it belongs to — this is Law, or this is Equity
according to the Court he is standing up in;
while on the opposite side, learned gentlemen
are saying and on equally good grounds, no, what you say is law is not
law; what I say is law, is law: or for law
put equity, as the case may be. Such in fact
is the state of the rule of action throughout the
whole of the field so egregiously misnamed Equity,
such it is shewn to be, over and over again, by
Mr Humphreys. Such is the state in which it is
Mr Sugden's undissembled wish to see it continue.
And why? Unless it be that the present system
of licensed and merciless depredation may continue
as any property out of which it can be
drawn may continue; and that Mr Sugden, and
other such learned gentlemen as Mr Sugden, in
conjunction with Eldon and Co may continue to
pocket their share of it.

Common Law. This non-entity A Great vacuum is given out in the character
of a plenum by which the whole field of law is already
and at all times: every thing already provided for,
while nothing till after it happened had been so much
as thought of.
