1825.
In fact, no person with any care could give us very accurate information on such
a point?— I think not, because we do not know when we sue out a process which is
not bailable; we do not know whether it is for five pounds or five hundred pounds;
in some cases we never know; if a summons is taken out for particulars, then we do
know. The instructions of course are to declare for goods sold and delivered,
damages 100 l. or 500 l. which is discretionary with our client who instructs us.

Mr. John Dar, called in ; and Examined.
WE are desirous of knowing, if possible, how the attornies and side clerks would be affected by the operation of this Bill, to what extent; can you give the Com-
mittee any information on that subject?- I have given nearly all the information
I can as to that. I have delivered in an account for ten years, of the whole profits ; and I gave for one term, the last term, the profits of all the fees for the half-yearly
bills. Certain bills are made out half-yearly ; and for the other bills, which are
termly, judgements and rules.
You must be aware it is extremely difficult, and perhaps impossible, from such
a document as that, to form and opinion as to what extent each of these sixteen officers
will be affected by the Bill?- It must be in proportion to their business, and the
paper shows that pretty well.
