be twice as large as they need be otherwise. (?) (?)
Liberty to go to a neighbouring District will do as well.

That one of the two Courts which first (?) itself

Reasons
The reasons for this provision arrangement are no other than
that well known principle by virtue of which a cus-
-tomer is better served when he has two shops to go
than when he has but one. When there are two
Courts between which every suitor(?) may take his choice
a laudable emulation contest will naturally take place be-
-tween them which shall get the most business. But
the way of all others for a Court of Justice to get the
most business is to maintain the best reputation
for probity and capacity.

Constitution(?) it has been this work of accident rather
than design.
