County Courts, Hundred Courts, Courts Leet
and Courts Baron — Appeals had been receivable,
this would have done much, but
this would not have done every thing. Some
indeed would have passed through the
strainer and yielded fees. But by far the
greater part would have stuck by the way,
and have thus been useless. Upon the
vulgar mode of appeal, evocation was no
small improvement. On an appeal, misdecision

could be uttered, which the Judge did not
sit condemned to hear; all labour, with
profit: different the case when this preliminary
written altercation came to be added:
once commenced, then on it went of itself, like
a pump set agoing by a steam engine: the
Judge receiving his share of the profit on it,
neither his ears nor his eyes being, any part
