29 Decr 1806
Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

Each coming with 3s in his hand, neither with any more
than 3s, for the supplemental shillings which I want still to
reckon up, are I take for granted the same on both sides,
how is our Solomon to decide? Having turned the deaf side of
his countenance to the series of representations for a reasonable
number of times, (receiving his 3s with the et cæteras for each), causes are at last so loud that it is no
longer possible not to hear it, judgment accordingly on that
side. Does that he at that price purchase peace and quietness:
shillings, yes: peace and quietness are where they were
before. Would your Lordship believe it Such is the perversity of suitors, than when the
plaintiff who had got judgment in the first instance, and who
then was satisfied with it, sees it reversed by the importunity
of the Defendant, he becomes on his part as much dissatisfied
as the Defendant was. He was in his turn is
seized with a fit of making Representations: the shillings
now flow in from an opposite no sooner is one source source
dry than the shillings begin and go on flowing in by an opposite
one. Here then, provoked by the reciprocating pressure
of opposite importunities, here is a perpetual double-fountain
of shillings, as pretty a one as is to be found in all
Hooper's or Hutton's Recreations. This the learned Operator Juggler and Reformer sees, and with a creative and preserving eye
sees, and sees that it is good. If shillings (says he) be the
fruit of importunity importunities, play on.
