29 Decr 1806
Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

After so much as has been said of the proposed manufactory work press,
it may seem almost superfluous to say
anything of the machinery proposed to be employed in it,
a Printing-press is mentioned as a part of it. Here This
is we have an improvement upon the Exchequer Chamber,
an improvement in the Scotch taste. In the Exchequer
Chamber we have sit 8 Judges: in the Chamber of Review
the maximum can be but 10: can it be in the power of 2
to make so great a difference? – But perhaps the printing
is for the benefit of trade. The benefit of to trade is at least as
there as the use to justice. To trade the benefit will be
at least as there is to Justice.

But if the operation of the press be indeed in this
of them, so necessary to Justice, surely Your Lordship
will not suffer our Reverend and learned Judges of the Exchequer Chamber to labour
any longer under a the privation of it. To the amusement
of reading they may then add that of boxing – I mean
Scotch boxing (Your Lordship does not know perhaps what
Scotch lawyer's boxing is) now that dancing is become as much out of
fashion among Judges as among dogs.
