§ Reconciliative
Mala fide Suitors — in 1 Means of the

Procedure inaptitude 2. Judges do

Of these two more that
which depends upon the
judge's depravity may have
place or not — that which
depends upon the depravity
of the system will is at all
times in existence
Of these two mean by either of which it may be in
the power of the mala fide suitor to compass his ends, that
which depends upon the vitious disposition of the individual in the
situation in question may have place or not [according as it
happens.] But that which is afforded by the vices of the system
by the depravity of the system by its repugnance instead of
its professed conduciveness to its professed ends the ends of justice as
above specified is at all times is in existence or at all
times does the mala fide suitor behold it at his command.
The Judge may be compleatly corruption-proof: be
may be justice herself personified: still and so far as if the system of procedure
be is in any other way in the way abovementioned vitious acting in
to the ends of justice the mala fide suitor will behold
in it an instrument at his command and practices the
use of it accordingly.

Vexations which
the dishonest man
is thereby enabled to
inflict on any other
Thus for instance, expense though to be no greater
amount than the smallest denomination of coin — say a farthing
puts it in the power of every distraint man to compass his
two distinct ends at the expense of every man of any such
man there be to by whom the of employing money
to that amount in his the obtainment of justice is not
possessed: it enables the dishonest man to obtain at the
charge of his intended victim by a groundless demand any
object of general desire to which by law is his, it enables him
thereby to practice depredation: it enables the dishonest man
to prevent the intended victim from obtaining from him the
dishonest man the service due in the payment of a debt
or any other services which by law he is under the obligation
of rendering to him: and thus in another shape to practice
depredation: it enables him, by means of the inability of the
intended victim inability to defray the expenses of defending
himself it enables him by means of false and groundless accusation to bring
down upon him whatsoever suffering is provided by law
for the purpose of being inflicted in the name of punishment for
criminality or delinquency in one of the shapes in which the denomination
of an offence has been given to any human act.
