History and description will now proceed
hand in hand. As it was in the beginning, so
is it ow. How things are will be seen by it's
being seen how they came to be so. To the arrangements,
by which the existing system has been
rendered thus adverse to the ends of justice,
will be given the denomination of devices:
Devices having for their purposes the above-mentioned
actual ends of judicature: and under the head of
each device, in such order and circumstances may
in each instance appear to required, the attention
of the Honorable House is solicited for the considerations
following —

1. Mischievousness of the device to the public
in respect of the adverseness of the arrangement
to the end of justice.

2. Subserviency of the device to the purposes
of the Authors — that is to say the Judges, and
other partakers with them in the sinister interest.

3. Impossibility that the adverseness and this
subserviency should not have been seen by the
Author.

4. Impossibility, after this exposure, that that same
adverseness should not now be seen by those to
whom the device is a source of profit.

5. Incidentally, apt originally established arrangement,
superseded and excluded by the Device.

The ends of justice we must unavoidably

was ever Father mad enough to betake himself to
any such course? Better ground for a Commission
of Lunacy would not be desired: no: not by any

to come at the truth: to come at it, whatever be
the purpose: giving right, giving reward, administering
compensation or administering punishment.
The father's wish is to come at the truth: and the
Judge's wish — what else ought it to be? For
coming at the truth, the means the father employs
are the promptest as well as the surest in
his power: what less effectual means should be those
employed by the Judges?

Forget not here to observe how necessary
the thus inhibited interview is to the ends of justice,
how necessary accordingly the prevention of it to the
actual ends of judicature.

Where the parties are at once allowed
and obliged, each at the earliest point of time, to
appear in the presence of the Judge — and eventually
of each other — where this is the case — (and in small
Debt Courts it is the case the Defendant Demandant of course
brings to view every fact and every evidence that
in his view makes for his interest: and the Defendant,
on his first appearance, does the like. If
the demand has been admitted, demandant
applies himself to the extraction of admission
from Defendant, defendant from demandant.
