Supplement.
§2. Elucidation.
II. Small Debt Courts.

III. Devices, the employment of which,
presents itself as being in the English Justice of Peace Summary procedure System pretty effectually discarded, does not though in its mischievous efficiency reduced, does

necessitated.
2. (VII.) Precipitation necessitated.
3. (VIII.) Blind fixations: that is to say, of times

4. (IX.) Mechanical, substituted so mental, judicature.

in an indefinite degree various; and so far
so bad, as above.

II. Local
