A word or two more, with Your Lordship's leave, on the
subject of competition. Applied to judicature, under the influence of at least under
the fee-gathering system, my conception of its efficiency the efficiency of this principle were
as already intimated, not quite so sanguine as Your Lordship's. those of Your
Lordship seemed to be.
Applied Apply it to legislation, the expectations entertained under a constitution such
of it as our own I could with much less reserve have subscribed
to the expectations that seem commendations that have been
bestowed on it.
Your Lordship I will not, I believe, have observed discovered
any considerable symptoms of partiality in favour of the plan
brought forward on the other side of the House. That its The impossibility
of its removing altogether the imperfections abuses mischiefs which
it undertakes to remove is to in my view as already
observed, matter of demonstration. But that the effect
of it must will be to effect a produce a partial removal of them in part
seems equally undeniable: and that part is just so much
more than the that part if Your Lordship learned Reformer's
plan which ravels over the same ground had any tendency
to remove.
Be it more or less, the the benefit derivable from this plan it is to Your
Lordship's account that I set it down down the whole of it. But
for Your Lordship, that repose the regard for which is has
in the estimate breast of the Right Honourable and learned author
of the improvement been confessed to be or rather declared to
be so much superior to all other considerations, would never
have experienced any such disturbance.
