II. Litigation

II. Def t. malâ fide

The two most regular customers whom Judge and C o have for their jus frandandi[?], and the two most distinct from one another on this side of the cause, are the malâ fide defendant combating for intermediate mesne profit by delay, and the malâ fide defendant combating for the intermediate faculty of embezzlement or dissipation. To each of these Judge and C o hold out in the character of a collateral and additional bonus, the chance of ultimate success, by means of intervening casualties.
