12 Decr 1806
Scotch Reform Evidence To Ld Grenville
Superseded?

Thus much as to your Lordship's personal share in
the business: thus much as to intentions and every thing of
that sort.

As to probable effects – if the object be to reduce lessen
the number frequency of instances of misdecision and factors of justice
– to reduce the quantum aggregate mass of delay, vexation
and expence – to the question what does it promise
to do in subserviency to those ends – my answer is
with the exception of an article, something, as far as
it goes: but in comparison of what might be done, and
ought to be done, extremely little.

☞ Here or further on

I will just state take the liberty of stating to your Lordship what to in my view of the matter present themselves as some of the most prominent abuses:
and thus beg of your Lordship to consider what it is
if any thing that it undertakes to do for the remedying of
those abuses.

1. what the Judges have at present in the preservation and inducement of delay, vexation and expence.

2. Lord Browning's Offer in toto

3. In particular practice of in regard to Representativens
in that office. Pillage without mercy, by receiving Representatives
without end.

4. Written Pleadings – without truth, shape or end.
