Not that the mischiefs of aristocratic oppression have
ever on this occasion been wholly out of my view. By
the state of judicature in this country, I have so lay
in I have considered any thing I have considered
the people of this country as subjected to it in an inconsiderable
degree. But the quarter from which it
presents itself to me as flowing a paucity the opposite
from which it is presented by the imagination of the
departed sage. The order By him the cause of the mischief
is viewedseen in the absence, by me in the presence
of his Jury trial by the procedure, composition of the judicatory
and mode of procedure taken together.
view Aristocratical your oppression presents chief as
in no inconsiderable degree established whenwhere to the
purpose of civilordinary remedy against civil wrong more than
mere truths of the people are kept in a state of constant
outrry: and thissuch though not the necessary
effect is the actual effect of that system with
which in its actual state he is so much more than
satisfied.
As theare actual effect cause indeed but not the in a necessary
effect. I cause of that so abominable an effect
I view the sort of judicatory thus confused: and
therefore it is, that, in civil causes as well as in criminal,
it presents itself is capable of being rendered conducive an oppression a system of organised
not strictly and purposely
by the legislator, but bywith
the convenience of the
opulent by the men
of lawacting in confederacy
with the men of finance
the lawyer in purpose of for that state of
of other people the financier for his own case
to the ends of justice not in England only
but even Scotland: for the aristocracyaristocratical oppression with which it
is infected, not bring the oppression not of the commoners by
the prior, but of the indigent less operative of all ranks by the more opulent
has no connection with the constitution and therefore without
any the slightest change in the constitution might may be cleared away at any time.
