Letter V

II. Litigation

To assist conception, the policy of Judge and C o directed as above to the promotion of wrongs and litigation, may be seen dividing itself into three branches: viz. 1. devising apt means for the fabrication of the evils capable of being converted into instruments in a mode more or less immediate to the extraction of lawyers'-profit: 2. fabrication of these instruments, or in other words, generation of these evils: 3. employing and applying them to the best advantage to that their intended purpose.

Shew where the North is, you shew where the South is at the same time: seeing the policy of Judge and C o, you see the counterpolicy of the legislator. 1. Devising, the work of the inventive faculty, not all the power upon earth could in this instance have prevented: 2. to prevent or obstruct the generation of these evils, the fabrication of these instruments, and if fabricated their application to such their sinister purpose, in these you see the correspondent branches of the counterpolicy of the legislator.
