Now then, my Lord, with Your Lordships leave, let
us see the effect of the principle of competition as applied
in such perfection – applied to all those 14 chambers – its
effect I mean, as contrasted compared with that of the rival principle
of love of money, money in the shape of fees.
The representations A Representation in Scotch
law is in one of its senses at least an application made to a Judge after decision pronounced
by him, importuning him to reverse or alter it:
a sort of an application , the existence of which, with us, whose system of judicature
is so far forth as concerns the principle of competition, taken
as the model is so excellent with at least among
our Common Law Judges at least, would almost find a
difficulty in gaining evidence. of this In the experience
of a learned gentleman known, who testified it, ten
of those representations one after another, with their just intervals
of delay, more in an unlimited number mentioned
in the way of allusion by the same competent witness have
succeeded one another in one suit: and he o such a pitch
has the practice swelled that the infinite multitude of those
representations thus admitted, and the infinite quantity of the
delay thus generated has become a grievance so notorious
as not to have ben disabled in any of the books of
practice.
