Juries

L d Presid t

2. For the purpose of the argument I will admitt two things. One is that the technical justice the sort of justice which /in the administration of which/ the Right Honourable President bears so distinguished a part - this technical justice, high priced as it is, dilatory, vexatious and expensive without which it could not be so good as it is is so good so perfect, that of all the causes /decisions/ that are determined /pronounced/ according to /by/ it from year's end to year's end, those which are reserved in the House of Lords (about half of these that are [...?] from) being, as his Lordship pleases included or not included, there is not one that is not right, and in every point imaginable as pure from the charge of mis-decision as possible. And to this position /proposition/ at any rate, I shall not, I flatter myself find any objection on his Lordship's part.

Another /The other/ is that of all these causes there is not one that, were it to be d in respect of security against misdecision on natural Justice in question is so bad, that of all the causes decided on such perfection under technical justice /procedure/, there is not one that would not be decided as badly as it was /is/ possible for a cause to be decided, under Natural procedure.
