to create superabundant delay, so much of that mischief as
the system puts or leaves it in his power to create, so much
ought the legislator to expect to find regularly constantly created of course.

As to the Judge under the technical, the fee gathering System,
it is his interest to create it throughout his interest urges him constantly to the creation of it, as so often
mentioned, viz: in respect of the expence attached to it, and
the profit incoming to the partnership of which he is a member
out of the expence.
