Now we are upon causes, another little comparison confrontation rapprochment our neighbours would say -} may not be without use.

Presented from the Supreme Court within Scotland, Appeal, which it can only be to the House of Lords, stops execution: so does it, under the name of a Writ of Error, when presented from those on the same level as Westminster Hall, to any of the three Westminster Hall Chambers of Review. Presented under the name of Appeal, from the Westminster Hall Equity Court on that same level to the only Court to which in Equity procedure it can be presented from that High Court, viz. to the House of Lords, Appeal does not stop execution: that is to say, not of course; nor without such special ground alledged and supported, as is scarce ever made.

And now, with submission, the cause of the following proportion for that same three years ending 1797, can be no great mystery. From the English Courts Appeals stopping execution, 1915: where of in Common Law causes to the 3 Intermediate Courts or Chambers of Review, 1790: in d o to the ultimate Court of Review, viz. the House of Lords, 125: English Appeals stopping execution 1915: English Appeals not stopping execution, 7: viz. in Equity Causes to the House of Lords: From Scotland in Common Law and Equity causes put together, Appeals stopping execution, 75.

After p. 8. of this. Go on to say by the expedient produced by J.B. & the Memorialists without the Review Chamber I see little less than half the delay struck off: by the Review Chamber, without those[?], more added than struck off.
