1825. Feby 5
Procedure Code
Ch.
(4) §.
7.
By original common
law any person paying
a certain sum to Judge
& Co may consign
any other to prison
By the original law called Common Law that is
to say by the that branch of the rule of which had the Judges for its rule
makers. 1 class is he excepted, by any person
whatsoever on payment of paying a certain sum to Judge
and Co, any p other person whatsoever certain privileged
classes excepted might be consigned as above to prison.
To an a system of corruption and oppression this
flagrant, not any the slightest remedy did these Lord and
Commons set themselves to apply till about the middle of the
last century. Too manifest by far not to have been seen
by them when applied to whom it was applied was the inadequacy
and at the same time the oppressiveness of the
pretended remedy Under it Before a pursuer is admitted to purchase
the instrument by which the prehenser is warranted, he is
obliged, under the ceremony of an oath to declare his belief
that the amount of what is due to him is not less than a
sum specified £10 it was at that time raised of late to £
8
Inadequate security
the preventing arrest
for debt under £10
At the In the wording of the act by which this/an instrument to this effect
was re thus rendered necessary care was taken not to require
that what a man was then obliged to declare to
be due to him he should not be obliged to declare to be due
to him in a the balance of all demands on both side: so that
if a man owed you on all accounts taken together £10,000, you might still then torment
him with impunity if in any on account he way
you are his debtor to the amount of £10.
Therefore presents itself another obvious consideration
If the secu alledged security there constituted was good for
any thing, why this limits the application of it. Whatever were
the service def demanded at the expense of a defender at the
hands of the Judge why not oblige the demander to declare
under the sanction of this ceremony his pursuance that the service
there demanded is justly due? Who is there then does not see To whom can
it be a secret that if the Judge in the character of an instrument of our word
upon
upon vaguest facts the
declaration in question
is worth any thing
the restraint implied upon applied to
injustice in the particular
case is a granted
to injustice in all other cases?
