Insufficiency of this
institution
Highly and unquestionably conducive as it is, the insufficiency
of this institution with reference to the accomplishment of its benevolent and
in a every way meritorious purpose, one single consideration will
at the outset suffice to shew. No otherwise In no other case/event than with the consent
of the adverse party — the proposed defendant, can the denial of
justice to the plaintiffs side have on any individual instance ever been served. But
without such consent to cause justice to be done rendered is not in the power of
this same tribunal. On every occasion A propose defendant has had but to maintain
a sullen silence in order to deprive the proposed plaintiff of all benefit
from the power given to the these Commissioners. On In every such case
whatsoever may have been the magnitude of injury sustained by him he remains therefore without any possibility of obtaining redress

Number of dropt causes
not attributable to the
fee gathering courts alone
Of the number of those the instances which in recourse to judicial authority
has been dropt In the several years of the account of which has as yet been received
the average ratio to that of the whole number received by this
the whole number of these tribunals in the Kingdom of Denmark
is that of 16 to 7: and we have seen that for the giving
for the production of this whole number the fee-gathering system of judicature
is in its nature not incapable of proving itself the efficient
cause
