Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

Such These, my Lord, are the terms of the contract entered
into by fee-fed Judges with debtors and
whom they have succeeded in seducing into the ready-opened paths of
dishonesty and chicane: such are the in plain English
are the terms of that original contract, when stripped of cleared of from the
varnish composed of grimace, hypocrisy, and sham science,
an original contract, somewhat more real than the one
dreamt of by Locke, when under a under the course of narcotics prepared
such as those in which the pharmacopeia Westmonasteriensis has
been driving so brisk and prosperous a trade
been in the habit of vending through so long a course of ages.

To an abuse thus composed and constituted Such being the nature and constitution of the abuse, I cannot
help flattering myself your Lordship will concurr
with me in thinking, that it is not in the nature of
costs – if anything that can with propriety be made
to bear that name, to apply any effectual efficient remedy.
The one thing needful, is a loss which increasing bearing encreasing in
a constant proportion always with the profit by delay, and being always equa
more than equal to it, shall in no case have any
neat profit to be got by reaped from it. But To bear any such proportion
does not is not the property of is not consistent with the nature consistent with the nature of
anything that can with propriety be termed costs.

Not that, the quantity sum of money being given, the
name by which it is called, is of itself of any moment worth contending about:
but the mischief is, that when this is the term word employed
the quantity of the sum will be of course be regulated by it.
