VI. Device the, Delay in boundless
and groundless length established.

Delay (need it be said,) is
denal, while it lasts. One third of the year,
Justice pretended, as above, to be administered:
the two other thirds not so much as pretended.
Such was the state of things determined
upon and produced accordingly.

A calculation was made:
one third of the year was found to suffice
for getting into the law granary all the
grist that the country could supply it
with: that was the time for the mill to go
remained the two other thirds on which the
Miller was free to amuse himself. One third
of the year, said he, will suffice for getting in
all the money that the whole people can muster
for laying out in out Shops: work for
one third of the year: amusement, for the
two other thirds. Sittings out of term time
belonged not to those days. At the present
day, while some Judges, as far as gout will
let them, sit at ease, other Judges overwork
and over fatten themselves. But, so managed
is the work, that the delay, with it's profits
and it's miseries, continues undiminished.
Moreover, by the delay, was left a correspondent
interval for incidents capable of being
made productive of fresh fees.
