Tax upon justice
no bind check but an
encouragement to
litigation
c If by litigation be meant liticontestation in a
case in which the effects of liticontestation are maleficent,
l a tax upon justice so far from being operating as a check, is an
encouragement to litigation: so far from killing the serpent
it gives birth to it.
In so far it as the situation of the persons off whom the
payment of the money is demanded are is on the defendant's side
the effect of the tax is to offer to, and put into the possession
of, every man, who beholds in any other a victim on who or
whom he is determined to exercise give vent to the desire of
maleficence whether by simple oppression or by depredation,
whether with or without emolument in any shape to himself, the
faculty of fulfilling such his flagitious purpose. Were it not for the tax now
imposed this tax, wickedness evil by so it is, that by the very supposition suffering in the instance of the individual
in question could not and would not be made to have take place,
the tax being imposed the same suffering can be and by the
supposition is, made to take place.
