1824. Feby. 10
Constitutional Procedure Code.Ch. Costs

From the minute taken by him of the his extrajudicial
examination of the supposed percipient witness, the Attorney
unless he prefers trusting to his unassisted notary, draws
up the Advocate's Brief: what is called the Brief for
the information of the Advocate adding to it such observations
as suggest themselves as the circumstances of
the case have suggested. Brief In its original import
brief means that: but the man of law big in both
his natures paid according to the length of it, it may
be imagined whether scantiness shortness carried to excess is likely to be
of the number of its attributes. In and from composition this discourse the
case the case receives of course from the hand of the manufacturer
not only the bulk but the colour which in his
eyes are best adapted to his own particular purposes,
whatsoever they may
happen to be.

From the first or second one and other and at any rate written misrepresentation for such this
supposed copy of a copy can not fail to be, the Advocate has
to frame from his second or third and oral misrepresentation
the statement at every stage and by every hand through
which it passes the picture being rendered still wider from the truth: and
in this state it is that if at all it finds its way at last to the ears
of the Judge who concludes with the operation and thereupon the business suit concludes or at least draws towards a conclusion
with which it ought to have begun.

Such are among the means by which By such means it is that a suit which
were the claimant, and if necessary the defendant to make
their appear statement in the first instance in public
and by word of mouth to the Judge a suit for which in
part the article of time a few hours or even minutes would suffice
is swollen to as many years: and for the whole in the article
of money expence a few pounds, or perhaps a few shillings would
suffice is swoll the quantity is swollen to hundreds of pounds
or thousands.
