but made remanets.

6.
For Judge and Co. the
more remanets the
better.

7.
A necessarily indeterminable

on, comes the discovery
that it is so, but
the Jury box is not
the less worshipped.

8.

9.
Profit to Judge and Co.
by new Trials.

10.
Disadvantages of
arbitration.
1. Incomplete the power
for attainment of evidence.
2. By this incompleteness,
unbiassed witnesses excluded:
biassed admitted.
3. Parties evidence, if
admitted, condemnation
of the general rule:
if excluded, misdecision
or denial of justice.
4. Arbitrators must be
paid, if professional.
5. Mode of payment
corruptive.
6. Choice more according
to interest, self-regarding
or sympathetic,
than appropriate aptitude.
7. Suits selected for remanets
not by suitors,
but by Judge and Co., according
to their sinister
interest.

11.
Wide the difference between
these arbitrators,
and those which
are originally selected
by the parties.

instead of mind.
Instance an automaton.

Origin of this device.
Problem. With least
expense of mind, how
to maximize fees.

3.
Example.
Operation of judgmt.
signing.
Instrument, a pair
of scales: in one, are
judgments; the other
empty for fees. Drop
the fee and up rises
the judgment.

Judge not even pretends
to perform the
effective operation, but
Plaintiff's Attorney.

5.
Punishments by statute
for swindlers.
Judicial swindlers
exempted by judge-made
law.

6.
If mental instead
of mechanical were
the mode of Judicature,
the result would
be the reverse.
