§. Benefits derivable. ☞ Suf. Objections Answered.
§ Various shapes cases in which benefit promises to be deducible
from the proposed Dispatch Commissioners.

2.
1. Bill for discovery without
relief. Years necessitated
under present system
whilst the evidence holder
may be within a stone's
throw of Westminster Hall.

Question of fact.

1. Bill for discovery without relief. Bill for discovery
without relief may be a lost a number of years: and after it
may be found or thought requisite a Cross Bill: not to
speak of Supplemental Bills necessitated by deaths &c

All the while perhaps the individual whose evidence is needed
is living perhaps within a stone's throw of Westminster Hall: having
all the while the narrative facts in his memory or the writings
in one of his diaries.

3
Shortest remedy to allow
any man to subpoena
and cause examine any
other

So far as regards the forthcomingness of the evidence
independently putting aside of the relay a shorter course would be to pass an
Act empowering every party to subpoena and cause examine
every other. But in this case, the relief would be left to take
its appropriately tedious though howsoever less tedious course. But neither of
these arrangements need supersede the other.

4
As to this Equity and
Common law in opposition
to each other

[ Hard says Common Law to force a man to speak say
confess any truth by which mean of which he may be made to
do justice. No says Equity not at all hard if by the in
addition to the suffering in question whatever it be you expose him
to the further suffering produced by th being plundered of some hundreds of
pounds and kept in mental torment for more any number of years
which in this cold and written way it the truth without betraying any thing by constrains and with full time to elaborate concealment, the truth it is not the truth can not be extracted
from him so surely and compleatly as in that.]
