Scotch Reform Evidence To Ld Grenville

Lawyer. Oh yes, I thought how it was I see – I see: You are for Parliamentary
Reform, are not you?

Non Lawyer. No: nor against it neither: I never
thought anything about the matter: and with your leave
on the present occasion at least with which it has nothing at all to do,
I should be glad to save myself the trouble.⊞ ⊞ If you have anything
to say about
Parliamentary Reform,
there's King or Cartwright
read for you. The question
we you and I are upon is – not who shall govern us?, but to
whose benefit we shall be governed?

Lawyer. – Well come, as you and I are friends – and
you seem not inclined to stickle for wile and speculative
theories, I will tell you let you see fairly and honestly how the
argument stands on our side: you will see that thee
are deeper reasons a deeper reason for it than you would have imagined.
To be sure, as there are so many more of you than there
are of us, it is your interest that ought to have the preference:
we don't dispute that: but it is for your
interest that things should be as they are at present.

Non-Lawyer. Indeed? that seems odd enough I true enough I should not have thought it.
And so t is for our interestsakes and as a fact of the
regard you have for us love you bear to us, that you gratify favour put us with so
much more delay, vexation and expence than you
need do or would favour subject us to otherwise?

Lawyer. Not exactly so. Your You are speaking
of motives: make what you will of them, they are nothing
to the purpose. What you are concerned in, are the effects:
and that was what I spoke of. It is for own sake, if you if so
you choose to have it please, that we ease you of all this money: it is for the sake of
the money we get that we to saddle you with the whole quantity of all this extra delay
vexation and expence: but be it what it may, it is not for
you to grudge it: since be it what it may you are all the better for it.
