1824. Jany. 26
Constitutional Code

In general Generally speaking the this first bilateral meeting will be the
last. The cases that require more will be comparatively but
very few. In England the great majority of the suits which
actually have place, are 40s suits, heard and determined in
the Judicatories called Courts of Conscience or Small Debt Courts.
Mutations of those cases begin and prosecuted mutations of them in the end the same day.
But the same sort of document or other evidences that serves for the
decision of a suit imposes a value to 40s would equally
serve for a suit superior in value to £40,000.

In the manner here proposed the most complicated cases suits
would generally speaking be decided in less time than in England
is occupied by the most complicated least complex suit.

But there are causes of delay which it is altogether
out of the power of legislative skill to deprive of to prevent
from producing this effect: if a document or a witness
is at happens to be at the antipodes or coast or extreme
of the Pacific is at a voyage and journey
of twelvemonths length voyage out thither back him
from there with intervening demurrage no legislative arrangements
can lessen it.
