WORDS sufficient. In a Letter
"You are a rascally Fellow and a Tom-Fool, you had better have held your Tongue" - This was in a letter from
a Copyholder to the a Lord of a Manor. - Barnardiston's case Trin.5.G.2. mentioned by the Court in Kelynge 58.
So excellent was the care taken of men's reputations by the old Common
Law, that a man who had a mind to subject himself to his censure,
could not do it, can possibly contrive without having a Special Pleader at his elbow to shape
his words for him.
Before In the Interest of the Public, there are no verdicts by surprise; no holding
back of evidence. There is full time leisure given for accusations and defence
characters of witnesses shall be none and none at leisure
There are none of those chicanes of which the liberty of putting into practice
is to be bought for money: it is not the largest purse that by this means
can carry the cause.
There are none of those irrelevant causes of incompetency which the adopted by
that stupidity of Lawyers has so profitably established:
