Dispatch Court
(8) (17 § 5. Procedure.
by whose crushing galling and debasing Yoke so severe a reproach is cast on the patience
that almost without a murmer, is
galling and debasing a yoke! seen submitting to it.! Look to Common
Law!. Hope I have of ? Judges Behold there all the benches filled a sea of by Judges to no one
of whom is known so much as the existence of
the judgment, to which, in pretence of it's being
his, he for compells the exhausting and only not
eviscerating compliance obedience Look to Equity! there then Behold
you may have seen Turn back your recollection, and behold there a supreme Judge sitting
for not fewer than seven and twenty years,
and down to the last, not able to frame his own
judgment (stiled deeries,) but at the end of hesitation
upon hesitation, giving attendance to
some incoherent portion of discourse by his
own confession not fit to stand, leaving it to
be remodelled in new remodelled and at some unascertained portion
or portions of future contingent time, by the hand of a sort of Clerk,
while the miserable Suitors are paying the penalty
of his the Master's incapacity, by fresh fees: all who
are gainers by this hesitation, that is to say all
who are the admitted restriessers of it, being all
the while in extacy at the profundity of the appropriate
learning, knowledge and talent
manifested by it. Had but the Clerk and the
Master changed places! the Clerk, giving undertaking
and authority to the decree: the
Master, the motion of the hand that made the
characters — would not even this have been a real
improvement? an improvement More substantial than any
which will seem to be as yet in store for us? Such, under
matchless Constitution is remuneratory Justice.
The more accomplished the inaptitude, the higher
the reward: the reward in every shape the reward
in gold, and the reward in glory.
