§.2. Elucidations

v French Courts

To For further elucidation, Of Bonapartes Procedure Code a glance he description deliverable
how short so ever and consequently imperfect and incorrect, reference made to
the abovementioned device of English procedure, may be not
altogether without its use

I. Parties not excluded from Judge's presence. No: but
presence of Attornies necessitated: and thereby justice denied to
all who are not in a condition to hire Attornies: not to speak
of Advocates with whom all the Judicatories team: but of whose
existence not suspicion so much as a suspicion would be derived
for any one of Bonaparte's four Codes. Thus then is
justice closed to t a great majority of the people though not to
near so great a part as that to which it is denied by
the English system.

II. Language not rendered compleatly unintelligible
though not so compleatly intelligible to the people at large as
it might be and therefore ought to be

III. Written instruments necessitated & where needless
and therefore useless: but to this above the extent given far
short of that given to it in English practice.

IV. Mendacity licenced, rewarded, necessitated and
by Judge himself practised. Under every one of these heads,
inclusion of abuse might it is supposed be desireable
but at the worst to the extent far short of that to which it has
place in English practice.

V. So, oaths, probably for the establishment of it
mendacity necessitated

VI. Delay in groundless length established: but
the length in a prodigious degree short of those in which it is
established in English practice even in the least dilatory species
of procedure namely the Common Law

Distaste now so compleatly nonsensical and
as that between Common Law and Equity: consequently no
such particular and compleatly inexcusable expense, and
expense-begetting delay for the profit out of which the distinction if not merited is kept up.
