Supplement
§ 2 Elucidation
History & Ætiology

Thus could stands the matter under the here proposed system
and to a considerable degree not only may do, but probably
does and in the summary mode as actually practiced
under the existing system. How stands it under the regular
mode of that same existing system? Answer: of course
thus. That, to the number of instruments issued, and
operations performed, the addition made may be maximized
and
with fees official and professional
for the same, may be maximized, each article of information
is kept back as long as possible.

Suppose the in English practice the Attorney or
Solicitor, — in French practice the irrelevant Procureur now
the Avocei, not an assistant, but as at present a substitute to the his client, the command of
the pace, or say rate of dispatch from this source will
be now so completely in his powers in his hands. If instead of being a substitute he is
but an assistant, the party (his client) will not indeed in this respect
be quite so completely in his power. But, unless the Judge is
to this purpose more especially mindful of his duty, and perpetually upon the watch alert
the presence of the party will not in general suffice afford by to preserve
his interest from this sacrifice. In comparison of the instances
in which he to the well and hardy bred, the inexperienced
client will add the ability, to maintain a contest with his
experienced assistant, those in which, he is not, by want of intellectual
or native aptitude rendered he is not unable, or by a fear rendered unwilling, the
matter of
will be few indeed.

[|] so if instead of
the substitute, the
substitute of this
same substitute,
namely the Barrister
— his course determined by the same by the same sinister interest.
be the only
person who on this
side opens his mouth

When all, as when, the exhibition of the mass of information in question
the exhibition depends are interested in either suppressing it or
keeping it back as long as possible, here is in their power not
only so to do but so to do without any loss of it in the article
of character the result can not honestly be regarded stated
as doubtfull. That instruments not exhibited are habitually
charged for as exhibited, and payment exacted for them in
pretence of their being exhibited, and the payment for
them
them exacted by Judges
whose is by
such exaction encreased
as matter of record
being stated in the Report
made by certain Commissioners.
But if for the
sale of a comparatively small mass of instruments derived from so Noble and learned Judges, the situation if Judges are content to sit exposed to the [+]1

[+]1 reproach of criminality that sort
of offence for which all men not
protected by power are liable to be
and want to be subjected to whipping.
[+]

[+]2 or pulling with it
this too with the aggravation
of obtaining the money
by
employing irresistible power
in the obtainment of the
by this false pretence [+]3

[+]3 is it in human nature that
man in general should abjure
from the of the service included it is without reproach or disrepute that it can be exacted and obtained?
