Scotch Reform

To L d Grenville

Omissa

Representations

Each coming with 3' in his hand, neither with any more than 3' for the supplemental shillings which I want skill to ration up are I take for granted the same on both sides, how is our Soloman to decide? Having turned the deaf side of his countenance to the [...?] of representation for a reasonable number of times, (receiving hi 3' with the et ceteras for each) comes one at least so bad that it is no longer possible not to hear it: judgment accordingly in that side. Does[?] he at that price purchase pace and quickness: shillings, yes: pace and quickness are where are they were before. Would Your Lordship believe it such is the perversity of suitors, that when the plaintiff who had got judgment in the first instance, and who then was satisfied with it, see it reversed by the importunity[/] of the Defendant, he becomes on his part as much dissatisfied as the defendant was. He now in his [...?] is served with a fit of making Representations: no room[?] is [...?] source dry than the shillings begin and go on flowing ni by an opposite one. More than, produced by the reciprocating pressure of opposite importunities, here is a perpetual double-fountain[?] of shillings, as pretty a on as is to be found in all Hooper's or Hutton's Recreations. Thus the learned Operator /[...?]/ and Reformer sees that it is good /see, and with a creative and preserving eye/. If shillings (says he) be the fruit of importunity /importunities/, play on.
