Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

My Lord, with great with all humble submission, that which is actual
is possible: With us in England, extracting nothing at all under the name
of , or anything under any other that correspond to it, is the actual
viz: practice, or if your Lordship pleases the non-practice. In England, yes even in England: ergo it is possible:
as to its being "found" so, that is a very different affair.⊞ ⊞ Whatever is, is:
That which exists, exists:
it is only what men wish a man wishes
to find, that is "found".
As to Interlocutors, in England English law with all our surplusage (I speak here of
Common Law) in English law (your Lordship knows) we
have no such things as interlocutors. Pleadings in the English stile English pleading
(for if not in that, in what other?) is are among the reforms of which this plan is pregnant:
English pleadings to render the matter so much the more
intelligible to the Scotch Juries, to whom they remain
as compleatly unseen and unheard as they are to English
ones. But before the series of pleadings in the English stile takes
its commencement, a reasonable series of Interlocutors in
the Scotch stile will of course have been run out: not to
speak of the fresh list series of Interlocutors may be found to which so
"indispensably necessary to which it may so naturally happen to
"be found indispensably necessary", after the termination if
not likewise during the continuance of the series of
English Pleadings, as at will in the inferior local provincial Court while the cause remains in a state of
vibration between the Outer and the Inner House, of the
new Metropolitan chambers, to say nothing of not to speak of the Chamber
of Review.
