Pitt gave acceptance to it while he lived,
gave support to it, such as he was able.
Royal vengeance stopt it. Interest sinister
and all powerful interest, opposed to every
thing good in proportion as it is good,
keeps it still out of existence. A little while,
and the inventors will; both of them, have
the merit of being dead: when their eys
can not be rejoiced at the sight of it, then
will it rise from under the oppression
which has thus long kept it down:
then will the public eye open itself;
then will public indignation kindle;
then will the public voice break out afresh,
and resistance no longer be deemed
compatible with prudence —

To conclude — Delay gave
ease: delay bred incidents: incidents
were made to breed fees: so it must have
been in those early times: so it is in these
present times. Ease and fees — fruits so sweet,
both together from one plant: how felicitous!

Two causes there are, by either
of which, without blame in any shape to any
thing or any body — to a Judge, or to the system
of procedure: — delay to any amount,
may be necessitated.

Of these causes, those whose
interest is served by the delay and by the
system in which it is an inseparable ingredient
take of course their advantage and

Setting aside this deficiency
and premium of delay, here may be seen the
natural mode of procedure. Supposing the
Judge but one, with an audience sufficient
in quality and quantity to compose a bridle
for his discretion, and he salaried instead
of feed / offred, here would every thing be as it
should be. But the misfortune is — that instead
of being substituted to the elsewhere established
technical mode of procedure, the natureal
mode is here added to it, leaving the burthen
unalleviated.

So much for all Jury causes
taken together. Enter now the topographical
distinction — Country causes and
Town Causes. The Country outweighing
the Town Causes in the scientific mixture
of delay and precipitation.

Country causes are dispatched
post haste: the whole machinery
running round in a circuit. At each
as size, upon the blind fixation principle, of
which presently, allotment made of a certain
number of the days, two, three or four as the
case may be, business for which two or three
hours might have been more than sufficient,
is crammed into the compass of two or three
days. By leaving evidence unheard, arguments
undelivered or unattended to, one part of the
whole number of suits set down for trial, is
