Ends of Justice

To match with these, the first parcel I found of ends of a necessarily negative description were - general end, avoidance of injustice to the prejudice of the defendant's side: particular ends, immediate ramifications[?] of the above general one - Imposition of such undue obligations by /viz. of such by the imposition of/ which if due satisfaction for wrong would have been administered to the plaintiffs 2. Imposition of such undue obligations by the imposition of which at the instance of the /a/ plaintiff punishment would have been administered, would have been inflicted on the defendant.

Next to these, but in a line with /still in the same line with/ these were - evils, vexation, expence and delay; ends avoidance of superfluous vexation, avoidance of superfluous expence, avoidance of superfluous delay /expence and delay respectively/; evils, linked it /together/ as one[?] in the most intimate /by the closest bonds of/ connection, but not the less distinguishable.

Here then were nine ends of justice well told, all of them in a negative dress, and all /none/ but the three first not susceptible of any other.
