1828. Novr.
Petition for Justice.
1. Case.
VII. Precipitation necessitated.

1. Delay and Precipitation
VII. Precipitation necessitated.
Though opposite, delay
and precipitation conduce
to the same effect
increase of Judge's profit.

2. Delay and Precipitation
Out of the delay grows
the precipitation.
Time allotted insufficient,
the more is
for one part,
the less is left for the
rest.

3. Origin Evil Time of Rise
Though from the
beginning possible
originally this was
not probable enough
to be contemplated.

4. Original Evil Time of Rise
But it presents not
the less demand for
consideration that
it is so abundantly
exemplified.

5. Present Evil
Of suits set down
for trial by a Jury,
classes two.
1. Those that are capable
of being so tried.
2. Those that are not.

6. Present Evil
Complexity swelling,
to a certain degree
Jury trial is not
possible.

7. Complexity
Sources of such complexity,
various –
1. Multitude of facts
to be proved or disproved,
as in
accounts.
2. Multitude of witnesses
as to each fact:
especially if evidence
as to character is adduced.

8. Complicated Present Evil
Consequence, arbitration
– arbitrators
learned Protegés of
Judges, one or two:
engaged to delay by
payment per day.
For procuring evidence,
powers inadequate:
but this
universally.
Here would be natural
procedure: wanting only
the bridle applied
by a sufficient audience
to the discretion
of the Judge.

9. Use to Judge
Use to Judge & Co.
1. Fees not diminished.
2. Ease maximized.
3. Patronage obtained.

10. Country the Mixture
II. Distinction between
town and country causes:
country sharing
in the mixture of
delay and precipitation.

11. Country Remainder
1. Country Causes.
In Circuits, runs the
whole machinery.
When an hour might
be too much, or
months too little,
days, one, two, or three
are allotted.
Result – part not
half heard, the other
part converted into
remanets.
All new to do over
again, unless in the
six months, evidence
is perished, purse
drained, or plaintiff
dead, naturally or
heart broken.

12. Country
Spring beget autumn
remanets.
Requires an all comprehensive
list of them.

13. Town
2. Town causes.
Delay is not here
so great as there.
Precipitation is not
wanting.
One Court overflows
another is deserted.
One Judge prefers fees:
the other, ease.
Appetite for fees is
called love of justice.
Horsemanship is
rivalled by judicatures
velocity.

14. Remedy
Parliament pleasing,
the all-legs-fitting book
will be exemplified by the
Deputation system applied
to Judicatories.
