Great disputes among antiquarians, what King it
was that invented Jury trial, as in use with us in civil causes.
Some say it was King Alfred, who because he invented everything else: others
say will have it that Ferrex and Porrex, twin Kings whose portraits we have by Geoffrey
of Monmouth invented it between them, or would have invented it
if they had existed: others again – My Lord, they are all
in the wrong: it was the invention of King .

He was a great mechanick, as everybody knows: from him
we had the whole system of mechanical judicature may think itself indebted to him
for existence. He was a great lover of equality: – so long as it was under
proper subordination. He made two beds with his own royal
hands: one for suitors, so famous in all our histories of which historians have said so much:
another for suits, of which it has been thought by the learner that the less was said
the better: the other for suits. It was a favorite maxim with him of his, that
all suits are naturally of the a same length: which has makes
made it so necessary by all possible arts to make them so. He
accomplis had found out half a year or a whole year to
be this proper length according to the place they came from to be this proper length: with
an exception in all cases that required them to be longer. For
adjusting them to the standard, he had two engines: one upon
the principle of the rolling mill, the other upon the principle
of the slitting mill: something in the nature of a guillotine,
the guillotine being a , pitched upon found out the proper place to cut upon of itself:
it knew what to keep as essential: it knew what to
cut off and reject as surplusage: the essence was composed of the speeches
of learned gentlemen the surplusage was the evidence.
