Evidence
In each instance of a in looking for the efficient cause we should
find it in some sudden spirit ebullition of zeal, produced
in the first instance in some non-professional bosom, by the
contemplation of some individual partial incident to which the public
attention had been attracted, and productive of a remedy by which
a scanty plaister was applied, and that a scanty one, to that
particular sore.
Quitting theory if from experience a man would wish
to learn what may rationally be expected from the voluntary
exertions of English Judges towards the removal of the evils
rooted in English judicature, let him after⊞ ⊞ reading in the several Acts of Parliament that have been passed for the amendment of the Law, discovering what the
little that has been done by the legislature to their end,
down to the collection of regulations arrangements that under the name of
Rules and Orders, have from time to time been established
for the regulation of the practice of the respective Courts. By those
regulations they have recognized their competence to the work of reformation
had it been either in their hear either the head or the heart
recognized in disposition for to it. With the little that has
been done by the casual occasional Inspectors of the system compare the absolute nothing
that has been done by the standing directors of the system. If
to the work that should might have been done, the work done by legislative
hands to the work actually done by the same hands is but as a hillock to a mountain, the work done by
those professional hands will be seen to be at the highest but as a molehill
to the hillock.
