Such being the nature of the disease, and not (the imperfect
state of the law) and such the cause of it, the next object to look
to is was the remedy.

In this view, it will be to you my friends necessary to distinguish in your
own minds two objects perfectly distinct in themselves:

1. the main body of the laws: of those laws giving effect and to the execution of
which the system of procedure or system pursued in the
execution of the office of a Judge is or professes to be directed,
and that system of procedure itself, which with reference to
the main body forms but an appendage.

It is in with the imperfections of the system of procedure that
the interest of the body of lawyers is more immediately connected, but
the interest which they have is keeping the main body in a as
bad an state as full of imperfection as possible – this sinister
interest, though less immediate and less perceptible, is not
the less real nor the less thoroughly understood or rather intimately
fill.

By way of remedy to the disease so far as the imper
system of procedure with its imperfections are is concerned, the
work so often spoken of has endeavoured partly to point out
partly to take in hand and improve this what presented itself as
the only sufficient only apposite and proper remedy:
the universal adoption and adopting taking up and extending to all causes
of all sorts that simple and natural course of procedure which in to
causes of a limited description and for such a length of time, and to a limited value, has with
so happily an effect blessed effect been pursued in the Courts called known among you by the name of Small
Debt Courts.
