Mistake me not, my Lord: – I mean not to say
that because such in that instance was the effect of competition as between Court
and Court in England in those days in that instance, such would necessarily be the
effect in the case of the competition proposed to be created
by the division of the Court of Sessions in Scotland, in this our times. But Your Lordship
sees, such would be the conclusion necessary verdict, were the evidence testimony of experience
the only evidence admitted: and that to satisfy us
that the conclusion is not a necessary one, theory, reasoning,
proper discriminations must would be to be made, which is as much as
to say, those bugbears so formidable to many a learned as well as to many an unlearned mind,
Theory – Speculation – would be to be must be called in.

were not fixt: those of the Chambers of the Court of Sessions
will be fixed – and will be exactly the same in all the Chambers:
no such extension permitted: no such bonus's to be sold.
The existence of Parliament was at that time matter of chance: it is
now as certain as that of the King himself: those were dark;
those are unenlightened times: – all this I am aware of, and all
this with me finds due allowance. make due allowance for.
