Scotch Reform Evidence To Ld Grenville

Lawyer. I see no great use in it. I have told
you already: it is because the portion of extra delay, vexation
and expence is so little.

Non-Lawyer. On the contrary, it is because that portion
is so great, it is because you are so much overpaid.
Nay: do not look so severe look not this severe: there is nothing of paradox
but in the word turn of expression: do not make as if you did not sink
to the bottom of it. It is because so many of the persons
in the lottery are so high, that the number of adventurers,
and thence of long adventurers, and thence again
the sum total of the loss of the adventurers, is
so great. Encrease therefore the extra quantity of delay – vexation
and expence, with its concomitant proportion of profit, the
more you thus encreased the mass of temptation, the more
and more disadvantageous your lottery would be, the more
and more, taking you all together you could want of
being adequately paid. Strike off the extra quantity of
strike off the factitious mass of mischief altogether, the
nearer you would be to the being adequately paid,
the further from the being under-paid, if there be any
such great harm in it.
