Scotch Reform Evidence To Ld Grenville
Lawyer. – Well, you may say what you please: one thing you
will admitt – that the labourer is worthy of his hire.
Non-Lawyer. Add, according as he earns it: and
according to what it is he is employed about.
Lawyer: Well, without one not to inquire into your accordings, you
will admitt that lawyers as well as all other labourers as ought to be adequately paid –
that they ought not to be under-paid. And Yet all
this while, so far from being and with after all other extra
delay, vexation and expence that you grudge us them so, so
far from being overpaid not to speak insist of adequate payment, we are underpaid. Dispute
this, if you can: Adam Smith has proved it. The
law he observes is a lottery: not meaning, as scorners as the scorner would
says have meant it to the suitors, but to the lawyers: the law is
a lottery: and to them a losing one: take them all
together so far from being overpaid, or even underpaid,
they are not paid at all: and you – you
want to have them paid still less.
Non-Lawyer. As to what Adam Smith, of all
that he has said on the subject, I know of nothing
that I have any need to dispute: unless the conclusion
that you have built upon the scantiness insufficiency of the
payment should happen to have been his: viz: that
there ought to be so much of it. – it ought not to be less so.
it would not be for the benefit of all parties that it were
less so.
Would yu wish me to tell show you why it is you are
so much underpaid?
