Maxims
6
Cases undisputed
the most numerous —
as cases
of debt.
Cases of the first stamp are beyond all comparison
the most frequent: such are actions demands of debt
against accompanied with indisputable proof against
an unwitting or unable debtor: for instance upon a note of hand Of this stamp
are perhaps 99 out of a hundred of the civil
causes that occurs (a)
7
Head to three
cases of theft
Cases of the second stamp To the second head
belong cases of Theft: which probably compose probably
at least nineteen out of twenty of the penal
causes that occur.
8
Ordinary cases
of debt admitt
of an instantaneous
division
Cases of debt when circumstanced as above
described admitt of an instantaneous decision, and
such as almost any man is competent to give.
If discretion be requisite it can only be as to the
respect to be given or the course to be taken
for buying the money (b)
9
Cases of theft
frequently
Cases of theft admitt of a decision equally speedy
most commonly
6(a)
English Case
<note>Note
(a) the law of England provides for this simplest of case very simple case
no other remedy than that most complicated one which
it applies equally to the most complicated cases. The consequence
is that an unrighteous debtor is enabled to stave off for years a decision which
might have been given
the first day. Meantime
the fund which
if taken in time would have sufficed to discharge
the debt is consumed in the purchase of injustice.
(b)The law of England allows the Judge no discretion
as to either of those counts.
