The benefit of immediate decision is foregone: over Today a mans
hand writing is confessed to a bill of exchange, or an
assault proved before the a Judge: yet though the
business is fully ripe for judgment the same half
hour, judgment can not be given till this day
sennight, because there is no proper Jury at hand, and
time must be given for getting one together.
The bed of Procrustes is the exact prototype model
of the English Jury box. The natural length of
a cause varies to infinity: from less than few
to more than twice as many years.
How can it be otherwise? were it only for this single
consideration one only to consider cause that the examination of
one witness may unexpectedly the simplicity
of another, and that witnesses or their own
depositions may to be fetched
from the antipodes. Happily such peremptory
calls for delay are not fore comparatively frequent.
The causes where natural duration is but momentary
are, beyond a in the proportion of ten to one,
at least, the most numerous: they would be greatly
more so if justice were not rendered under an article
of contraband to the bulk of the community by prohibitory
