In one instance case, and hat a very extensive one, comprising
the whole business of the Bill Chamber, difficulty extraordinary difficulty
is the price in a book of practice† † Baird 265, 279. stated as the
signal looked to for by the Lord Ordinary for
turning a cause out of his hands without decision instead
of deciding on it, Scoticé for reporting instead of advising.
"All Bills are advised by the Lord Ordinary in the first instance,
"unless his Lordship thinks there is difficulty: in which case
"he reports the same to the Court, verbally at the fact of the Table, and
"pronounces such interlocutor thereon, as is warranted by the opinions non-delivered."⊞
⊞ The course thus taken for getting the better of mastering extraordinary difficulties is truly curious.
Where there is no difficulty, the case receives the its decision from a single Judge,
who has been keeping all the documents in his hands, any number of months at
pleasure, with the faculty of recurring to them any number of times and for any
length of time at his leisure. When difficulty calls for proportionable examination
and mediation, it is to be got rid of by a crowd of Judges, huddled all together each of them taking
his conception of the cause case from what he can pick up from the vivâ voce statement
of the learned Reporter, who, stated in was in the station of a suitor rather than
a Judge, expects as looks to the termination of the conference for the faculty of extricating himself from a situation thus irksome.
and incongruous⊞2
⊞ To cover incapacity, and escape from responsibility – yes: – but
is this the way to conquer difficulty, and do justice to the cause?
