The consideration of delay affords an objection as insuperable
as the precipitation and the expence. Still not less more insuperable.
Bring a Jury upon the stage, adieu to all
speedy Justice. You could not manage it, even though
you were are to put yourself to the expense of a perpetual
club of Its Jurymen : one set never turning their backs

put one Jury to begin a cause and a different one to
finish it : and if you did not, you would never one

hand exchange hand or an bill of exchange endorsement and say whether it is his writing : but two
others shall take ten hours, and the third ten days.
Other causes shall require many appearances, with
long intervals between them : which one died or paper is
lasted hunting out,, the construction of another arguindg, and
