Jany 1807

I have stated as plainly as was in my power the causes
of my own attachment to this mode of Jury judicature, I will not by
Your Lordships indulgence which I have to state with : the causes of that attachment, and therein
the hands set to it. I will not beg your Lordship's
indulgence while I state with equal plainness simplicity, the causes of
that attachment which learned Lords and gentlemen are never tired
of manifesting towards it.

Thus it is, my Lord, that so far as learned Lords and gentlemen
are concerned They are comprizable as in other cases in two words:
are concerned the causes of their attachment to this palladian of English liberty, are comprizable
in the two words profit and case: where so far as these two agreable circumstances
or either of them accompany it, so far does their attachment passion cleave to it: where
both desert it, that is where a rival mode possessed of the
same charms presents itself, Jury trial and laid upon the
shelf without any complaint on their part, is laid upon the
shelf.

The competition (Your Lordship sees) is between Jury trial
in the first instance, and Natural Procedure, with Jury trial f
necessary afterwards.

1. Now then First, as to profit – No Jury trial Jury trial in the first instance, no suit without its profits:
and those, as everybody knows, not small ones. Natural Procedure
in the first instance, in a vast majority of suits the
number of individual suits, no lawyer's profit at all, at
least none for Advocates. Here and there, the demand perhaps
for the assistance of an Attorney given by a part of a day's attendance;
but in the majority of individual instances, not even that.
