Note

If a provision to this effect this general in intent
were to be thought fit to be submitted to
Parliament, there would be the occasion would be
a fit one to over for overhauling the whole system
of summary that bran procedure of that branch
of procedures to which it belongs. The framing
a general code of summary procedures applicable to
all cases (for this and no less is the task attended
to ) would be found comprizable on a much narrower
compass than would readily at first sight be imagined
it would 1 clear the statute-book henceforth and
for ever more of an enormous mass of incongruities
and as well as of an intolerable load of repetitions
and it would supercede the
necessity of those formularies of novel invention,
which by having every thing in blank leave
every thing to the discretion of a single Magistrate
it would put an end to those perpetual vibrations alternative
between thraldom and arbitrary
uncontrouled discretion which at present form
present the sole alternative: to the impracticable
comfort of the Country Magistrate, who upon
each occasion would might be made to see the whole mass of
his course through the turnings and windings of
procedure laid down within the compass of half
a sheet of paper [presenting itself at one view
the whole of its contents] presenting the whole of
the ground together at one view.
