In the maintenance of the authority of the supreme legislature,
and in that alone as to be principally if not exclusively, is
to be sought, so far as reason and utility general utility and the immediate ends of justice are concerned, independently
of the habit of blind adherence in the practice of other and widely different
times. or almost if not quite the only but that is perfectly
sufficient reason for the entertaining of Appeals to the House
of Lords on the ground of law from the supreme local judicatory of Scotland.⊞ ⊞ But for this recourse, supremacy, especially for some time after the Union, and which is yet that mutually felicitous incorporation was regarded in Scotland as a sort of Norman conquest, the power of the British Parliament could construed away in so many instances even to the same branch of the supreme legislative body in London Westminster Hall, would have been construed away in many now in Edinburgh.

In the same consideration object, added to the prevention of subordinate usurpation, and in the
maintenance of uniformity in the course of decision may be
sought in like manner f the reasons for entertaining of
Appeals by whatosever nameto the Lords House to called and the Appeals called
Writs of Error⊞ from the four co-ordinate English Courts in Westminster Hall Courts.

In the same consideration may are to be sought the reasons
for the entertaining of Appeals howsoever denominated of both kinds from the
several copies of the Westminster Hall Courts – the supreme
local judicatories of Ireland.

For the fulfilment of all these ends of justice, and but in particular
of the several instrumentary ends above distinguished, the security afforded by the faculty
of appeal is undeniably imperfect: it depends upon the
union of the requisite power and will and power, viz. and in particular pecuniary power on the part of the unsuccessful
party, pecuniary power adequate to the expence of so
costly a remedy, resolution adequate to the endurance of the
vexation attached to it – and being defeated extinguished by a deficiency
in either of those requisites is left within the reach of
but a comparatively portion of the whole body people community of the
people.
