Letter IV

Resolut. 6.7.8.9

Juries

3. denial of justice

Lawyer. - But, should any such Utopian plan as your late plan what a horrible answer[?] to the mass of litigation!

Then Lawyer [...?] and softly, my Lord [...?] [...?] Bone verbum quaeso. The mischief of litigation consists in the delay, vexation and expence: the delay, [...?] would be as nothing; the expence would be as nothing: and the vexation would be in proportion to the delay and the expence.

It is in your [...?] Alfride cum focci Romali, not in my Utopia, that litigation is a grievance. What there is of grievance in it, is of your own making:- cease to make it, and there will be none.
