Eldon's Bill

'.4. (1) ( dispatch of business during the time of Session)

Dispatch of business - the object thus placed in close contact with the limitative clause, the purpose of which if it has any is to counteract it as the object that calls forth this note.

Dispatch of business the declared object and only /sole/ declared object of this section - dispatch of business the declared object and only declared object of the whole Bill - and /now that for/ the first time any application is made of it close in contact with it is stuck on a clause that has no other effect than to limit /obstruct/ it: to limit it, and to what use /good purpose/ let any one imagine.

(The time of Session is but /lasts but for/ six months out of the twelve: six other months are /composes/ the time allotted to the reign and triumph of injustice.

Denial of justice, a general /generally extensive/ and regularly established denial of justice the duration of it extending to several whole years - a denial of justice confessed by the diners [...?] and loudly complained of /proclaimed/ by /on the part of/ the sufferers being the grievance and dispatch of business the appropriate remedy for the grievance being the professed object, what is the first care? not too much should be done for the attainment of it.

"The time of Session" - the time allotted for justice - lasts but six months out of the twelve: six other months compose the time allotted to the reign and triumph of injustice.

Such is not mans care when /where/ justice is really an /the/ object. Such was not the care of Edward the 3 d's Parliament +, when traders being the class of suitors in consideration - (all traders without exception or limitation, and not foreign traders only, as the learned and astute editors of the Statute Book with its marginal contents would have it thought) the will of Parliament was declared that right should be done not only day by day, but hour by hour... so that the /those/ suitors should not by malice be deprived of a sufficiently speedy remedy.
