Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

My Lord, in the Small Debt Courts (the only Courts in
Scotland to which I can prevail on myself to apply the
denomination appellation of seats of justice, recognizing in all
the others the indispensable title to the appellation of (seats
of judicature) in the Small Debt Courts (if my expectation be correct) it will, be
found impossible either to diminish or to abolish or to
diminish Extracts, though for a somewhat different reason,
viz: that there will be found nothing to extract.
Thereupon Now then there being neither Interlocutors, nor defence, nor
Summons or Petition to extract where in those any one of those seats of truth and honesty Judgment has been
given in a demand of debt for so many bolls of oats
value £5, it will rest with the author of this part of
the Reform to demonstrate the necessity of all those extractions
with their reserved et cæteras in a demand much
in the like sum for the same number of bolls of the same
sort of grain in the case where their the value of them
shall have happened to rise so high as to £5:1s.
Not that should this even instead of less than £5.1s be they
worth £10 should have cost him £9 19s a Scotchman, if he be honestly advised
and at the same time master of his temper will think of
demanding for them more than £5, considering where
it is that the £5 is without buying to be had, and where it is the
£9:19s is to be would be to be but without buying had, if he a man could get it afford to buy it.
afford to pay for it.
