As between the Committee and the House itself and the
Committee the an appointment or if made at all must will be
made either by priority of date the order of time, or by selection, or by
lot.
In regard to such the existing arrear, priority of time
presents itself as being at the not only the most obvious
as well as only usual principle, but the most conformable
to the ends of justice.
But in regard to the growing influx not only the distinction
between bonâ fide Appeals and malâ fide Appeals is sufficeint
but to present not only selection only, but even lot as
preferable.
1. As to selection the main or rather sole sole or at least the main object here pointed
out by at by the ends of justice is the prevention of malâ fide Appeals.
Under this denomination comes every Appeal, in the instances
of which the Appellant conscious of the a total want of merits
and having no expectation of a decision in his favour, the Appellant
in the presentation of his Appeal has no other object
than the profit advantage, in certain some circumstances put into his pocket by a sure certain one,
derivable resulting from the delay. In this case the Appeal when the
time comes for a hearing when in the order of priority it comes to the turn of the
to be heard, the be the Appellant either withdraws it is either
on the petition of the Appellant withdrawn, or for want or prosecution dismissed. By this means
the costs of a hearing are saved to the Appellant himself, and
the reproach of conscious self-conscious injustice, is saved not only to the Appellant and but to
his professional Advisers. Thus by adding the addition of up together the two both
Appeals withdrawn and Appeals dismissed may at all times
be seen found to a degree of correctness sufficient for every practicable purpose
the number of number Appeals coming under the description of
malâ fide Appeals, as above.
