Advocation

Frivolous and vexatious

In the use of those eopithets a sort of division /class [...?]/ is implied, which if my humble conception of the matter should happen to be right will turn out to be ilusory, and productive of practical error upon a vert extensive scale. I will first submitt to Yuor Lordship the classification which presents /has presented/ itself to be one or the one for use, and from that should it really appear fit[?], any other, the one here in question included, will appear /be seen/ not to be so.

When on any occasion it happens to a mans conduct to be unlawful or in any other respect blameworthy, either it appears to himself so to be, or it does not. The [...?] of this distinction and at the same time to its importance is a view to practice, all men have been more or less [...?], and in particular all legislators. Bring[?] the Remnants the source of it may be seen to have provided with more or less consistency the whole body of their jurisprudence, in particular the universal branch in which the occasions for calling it into action are most frequent. When the individual in question is regarded as being consiouc of the illegality blame-worthiness, impropriety of his conduct any one of these and divers other names /terms/ may alike serve, they speak of him as being in malâ fide - of his conduct as being tinctured[?] with malâ fide - or to use a word in still more frequent use with /[...?]/ the lawyers of that school with dolus[?].
