Oblige the judge of the immediate the single-seated judicatory to decide
abolish at the same time the distinction between prohibit
at the same time the judges of the appellate, the many seated
judicatory from taking cognizance of causes in the first
instance, everything is thus far placed upon a footing at
rational, principle and to the judicial practice
are the judicature of England and of other nations.
Inde Immediate judicatory, single-seated, as in the case of
the judicatories next in rank, the Sheriff's Courts – appellate
and in other respects superordinate judicatory, a many seated
judicatory.

That to disputeless i.e. and thereby to the avoidance of the evils of
superfluous delay, vexation and expence in the great mass bulk
of causes the superiority of single seated judicatories will
it is supposed be out of dispute.

Causes of difficulty Difficulty in the nature of the
cause, coupled with the vice of indecision on the intellectual
part of the character of the Judge present an exception: the
for in a many seated judicatory the slowness of one Judge
even though he be the presiding Judge, may find a remedy be remedied to a
considerable degree in the superior quickness of his colleagues: as in a team
a lazy or weak horse is dragged by by the others, and his rate of going made
to keep pace with theirs. But to this mischief there
are other remedies.

In The great bulk of causes </add> suits say nine out of ten, or nineteen
perhaps out of twenty is composed of those in which
the fault lies on the defendant's side, and the cause of it his reluctance
or inability, ultimate or temporary to comply with the demands of justice. In these instances,
there being no point really in dispute, no demand is
made upon the evidence, none but upon the power of the Judge. And In
in this predicament stand
nine out of ten, or perhaps
nineteen out of twenty
of the whole number of
causes suits.
