Conclusion

Of the technical systems a common property is to be extensive and abundant in complication and diversification of regulations and arrangements, narrow and scanty in relief in the provision made for the fulfilment of the engagements taken by the substantive branch of the law, for the attainment of the ends of justice.

Of all technical systems in existence, it may be expected with confidence, that the English is at the same time most complicated and diversified in regulation and arrangement, and at the same time most scanty and inadequate in respect to relief: unitary, to a degree beyond example of disastrous perfection the two opposite defects /vices/.

It is mentioned by Blackstone as the peculiar excitation of the law of England, that under it there is no right without a remedy. How stands the fact? That under the Common Law, and except in so far as from time to time /by approaching creeping on through a course of ages/ the Equity Courts have extended their dilatory, vexatious and expensive remedies, the English system is beyond all others abundant in rights destitute of remedy.

In the Outline here submitted, if it fulfils /as far as it agrees/ /comes up to/ the endeavours and agrees with the conception formed of it by its author, compared with the existing technical system, the relief will be found as remarkable /distinguished/ for its extent, as the regulations and arrangements for simplicity for brevity of expression and simplicity of nature.

    Law - taxes by statute to be abolished

    Abolition of all taxes on justice, whether in the shape of stamp-duties or any other shape: Justice [...?] and unprohibited in the here proposed all-embracing as in the already existing Courts of Natural Procedure transfer of this part of the public burthens to the taxes on instruments of conveyance, to the taxes on saucepans, to the assessed taxes, to the property tax, or to any other tax whatsoever. All other taxes fall if not upon affluence, at any rate upon possession: this alone falls upon affluence and indigence: aggravating affliction and shutting the door against relief. In principle it stands next in depravity to the taxes on medicine: but in practice and effect it is beyond comparison worse: viz: by reason of its enormous magnitude and inequality and the abuse of relief /all these claims[?] of relief will[?] [...?] the[?] [...?]/ is so happily encompassed[?]. Lingering death, would any eye that orders it choose to see it is among its abundant consequences.

    Power to the Judge to impose a contribution, call it tax call it fine, upon the party in the wrong - lighter in case of temerity, heavy in case of male fides - proportioned to his income. But when thus rightly scaled and duly /accurately/ proportioned, the danger is - such are the delusions spread over the public mind by the technical system - that the Judge would be reluctant to exercise the power the people perhaps the lawyers certainly averse[?] to the exercise of it /unwilling to see it exercised[?]. While /Pour it out/ falling without / governed[?] out/ distraction upon the oppressor and the oppressed, it forms in the hands of the tyrant the principal instrument in the exercise of his tyranny, which in a word its operation is all pure evil, no pen[?] but one at least, are[?] that equal /equivalent/ to none, has ever been raised against it - but one legislator among so many, cares how frequently or how barbarously it is aggravated. Place it in such a manner as that it shall serve as a bridle to oppression, protecting the indigent from oppression punishing the oppressor, when its operation is all pure good, then and then only it is that men are prepared to complain of rigour, and protest against it as a grievance. Inexplicable blindness, or cold and calculating /interested/ barbarity - when will it relent? when will it cease?

    Appeal & Jury

    On view of the Verdict given, on the occasion of any such Trial ordered by the Metropolitan Court of Appeal, together with the Minutes of the Trial power, to the Court to declare the Judgment final, on the principle of the perpetual Injunction granted by the English Courts of Equity.

    N.B. The question how far after a judgement already pronounced the case of any Court shall be open to applications for reversal or modification requires to be settled upon all comprehensive principles - comprehending demands of all sorts. The perpetual Injunction above mentioned is a technical /technically manufactured/ remedy to a technically produced /generated/ /begotten/ inconvenience. In general judgment except in case of appeal /arrest of judgement/, or writ of error, is conclusive on both parties; admitting no fresh action, (unless the useless and abusive action in lieu of execution in that same judgement) for the same cause. Hence it is that in general there is no room for application for perpetual injunction here[?] in general no ground to operate upon. In the fictitious action at Common Law employed for trying titles to property in immoveables (ejectment) one of the consequences is that fresh and fresh actions may be brought by the losing party in each instance to the end of time. Abuse infinite, remedy an enormous grievance.

    Causes mostly short

    5. That the main causes of misdecision in the point of law is the non-existence of any real law bearing on the point: that the only remedy to the non-existence of such rule of action is to make one: an operation easy to be performed by the legislator, and to which these three technical remedies do not any of them contribute any thing.

    6. That as to so much of the evil of misdecision on the question of law as regards its tendency to produce its like in other causes - which is beyond comparison the greatest part /largest portion/ of it, it is in the power of the legislator to put a stop to it at any time. The true remedy therefore (whether the offer of a compleat body of laws be adopted or not) consists in arrangements taken for the promptly, and periodically and regularly presenting to the notice of the legislature all the decisions that have any thing new in them on the point of law: an institution on the subject of which I shall have occasion to address Your Lordship in a subsequent letter.
