An English judge writing from Bengal to
a Secretary of state soon after the jurisdiction
of the English Court had been brought educed back
within those limits to which the legislature
never meant it should transgress, complains
pathetically of the decline of business. How
proper soever this letter might have been
taken if written to a lawyer, it should not
have been written to any one else. If the Judge
forgot his office while he [wrote this} set his
hand to this complaint, he certainly was not
unmindful of his profession: But he should
likewise have remembered the profession of the
presen: person he was writing to: complaints like these were not proper
to have been poured into any other than a legal lawyers
bosom. To an unlearned layman ear such complaints
however pathetic could have much
the same sound as the lamentations bewailings of an undertaker
at on account of <add>for</add> an healthy season.
There is a state of things in under which a
lover of mankind may be vitt bitterly permitted to bewail the
paucity of suits. unfrequency [dearth of legal business]
