IV. Bonâ fide Appeals

Forgetting then their existence for the present, and only for the present, (for soon Your Lordship shall be enabled to entertain him with a sight of Scotch-bred ones by scores as well as English-bred ones by hundred, all of them with the name malâ fide Appellant written upon their foreheads) I will consider the proposed additional Chamber on the footing of the effect it would have if there were no sort of litigants or sort of appellants to be found in any one of his Majesty's three kingdoms but bonâ fide ones.
