1827. March 10. 13
Procedure CodeCh. Nullification

Nor yet is this the worst. Hitherto, the
case stands thus. The suitor is made by to suffer
by the Judge, because the suitor's law assistant
has omitted to do that of the need of doing which
he neither had nor could have had any knowledge
and for the doing or not doing of which,
he in consequence was not to blame. But
though, by all possible appropriate knowledge and
judgment and talent and attention, it had
not been rendered possible for the assistant to
save his client from this infliction, means there
are in abundance, by any one of which, it has
by the judges of this school been put into the power
of the most ignorant, injudicious, unskilful
and careless practitioner, to subject his clients
in any number to the infliction in question,
and in like manner every other client that he
has. For, though the means of avoiding to render
an instrument of the sort in question void,
and not within the view of any man, yet the
means of rendering it void to a certainty are
open to the view, and ready to the hand, of every
man. He had to omit, or insert or misspel this
or that word and so forth.

Nor yet is this the worst. For the
infliction to which it is thus put in his power to subject
his client, it has been made his interest
to subject him, made so by the Judge himself
to himself, a conjunct interest in the production
of the wrong thus done.

☞ Speak afterwards
of the power of pardon
thus given to attornies,
and attorney's
clerks.
