Place and Time
That substantial parties which may do in a day What the English Judge does one time in a
hundred, the Cawses and the Bramin like the English fathers may
do every day: their inclinations may be perverse,
knowledge judgment may be weak: but at any
rate they have their eyes open and their hands
at liberty.
And who would think it? note this mass of absurdity
is the work not of modern refinement, not of
antient barbarism There was a time + + the times of it are plainly marked, visible in history when even
an English judge had it in his power to do justice.
Then It was then thought no more a hardship to [oblige]
a man to attend his own concerns than the concerns
of other people. Each party was ready
and to answer within presence of the judge
to examine and to be examined in the presence
of the judge. Advocates there were a few: attorneys
there were none. Not a farthing of expence set on
either party: till it was seen which of them had
deserved it: if the [one had been complained without
cause he was fined: parties vexation if the other had contested
the claim without reason]
