On this occasion /In this place/ give me leave to mention another reason, my Lord, for breaking down this prodigious /unwieldy/ mass of their whole Lordships, into integral parts small which so big as they are integrant, no one of their Lordships being less than a whole /Your Lordship not [...?] //applying// on this occasion the judgment of Soloman/, can not be too small. Dicta of 15 Judges? what better than a Debit[?] can the compound be expected to make.

Compare the dicta of their 15 [...?], with the dicta of the one L d Harwicke,

Even in the King's Bench where the one is multiplied[?] by no more than four, when L d Mansfield's argument has been read, would not the[?] I am of the same opinion, be in general a very advantageous substitute for all the others /the more[?] [...?] /[...?]/ ones/?

Both bring for the [...?], Lord A. grounds his suffrage on one reason, Judge B. on another: which is it that makes the law?

Under the circumstances, bends[?] over and respectability[?], and thence probability of intelligence as well as probity, if more instruction /instructiveness/ were considered, and the capacity of suffrages for giving certainty to the law which it remains for suitors through their lawyers to extract from them, is not the value inversely as /shall in the inverse value/ the member?
