Thus far then, Here then at least, so far as rectitude of decision depends
upon appropriate legal science, if rectitude of decision, were the
considered separately from the intermediate ends above brought to view, were
the principal object nothing could be more palpable than the anticlimax
that would be exhibited exhibited by an Appeal from the
Scottish Court of Session to the House of Lords.

In the case of Irish and English cases, due notice
being taken of the distinction between Law and Equity, the anticlimax would not be found altogether equally
so palpable: but still in every case, were the transition
carefully examined in this view, anticlimax rather than climax would be
found to be the proper name for it. To the Law Lords, in
and out of office, the eye naturally looks, it is true, on
occasions of this sort, for a reinforcement of legal science:
but the not having any to obligation of the perfect
kind for its support, the resn resource is at best but a
casual one. Thus it stands even now: but, at the then
commencement of the undisturbed exercise of appellate judicature
of the settlement of the by the House of Lords after the contact in Charles the 2d's time, and for a long
time afterwards, the Chancellor excepted who was sometimes a
Lord and sometimes not a Lord, no such person as a
Law-Lord had been ever in existence.
