Decr 1806
Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

In principle probably, in degree extent of application certainly,
I would venture to say a parallel to this abuse never would not
be to be found anywhere upon the surface of this our globe.
It is purely the growth of Scotland: it is purely the growth of
Edinburgh: it is a species of dry-rot nowhere to be found but
in the Court of Session, nor there but in the Outer House.
Of the system of Scotch procedure, the foundation ground-work came from Rome,
via Paris. But in French Procedure in all the so many excursions
as I have had occasion to make into it for these twenty or
thirty years back, it has never been my fortune to descry any
the slightest traces trace of it.

Title by importunity! there would be an idea to add
to the list of tasks to property in the Analysis of any future
Scottish Blackstone! Surely so disastrous an application
was never yet has nowhere been ever made of the parable of the unjust Judge.

With regard to the 10 Representations, not to speak of the
10 plus x above mentioned what I sho is not stated, but what
I should be curious enough to know, is – whether in this number
be comprized the representations on one side only, or those
on both sides. For inasmuch as in every cause there are
at least two sides, and in some above two hundred, be pleased
my Lord, to observe the distress in which in his character
of Lord Ordinary, every each learned Lord finds himself every
day involved. Every day in his life like in the situation of Hercules between
Pallas and Venus, like Macheath between Lucy and Polly
of like of Garrick between Tragedy and Comedy in the Angerstein's
picture, he finds himself under in a state of continual pressure anxiety and uncertainty and vacillation, under
of the contending importunates.
