Appeal List defective

English Review Chambers

Such being the profit allowed by the manufacturers of factitious delay to the customer, I [...?] now to give an account of the profits made by the manufacturers, the reverend the manufacturers with their junior partners constituting together the great firm of Judge and C o: the profits which constitute the valuable consideration - the quid pro quo - and that reciprocity and mutual good understanding which is so essential to trade.

Here as before I have to deplore that want of appropriate power, which no labour however hard can supply.

Here as before I am reduced to take for the subject of my labours the materials furnished by the Committee on Finance so long ago as the year 1798, compounded with the Accounts of Costs as furnished by Mr Palmer.

1. Costs of one Writ of Error (not argued) (alias a sham Writ of Error brought for the mere purpose of delay) from the Common Pleas to the King's Bench, Pllf's side £28:15.0. Defend ts d o 14.18

to the King's Bench - - Plaintiff's side £30:1.3

Defendant's side £25:19.2

Together £55:0.5

This, multiplied by 543, being the n o of these unargued Appeals presented in the three years ending 1797, gives for the amount of manufacturers profit for the three years in the Kings Bench manufactory £29,876:6.3

2. Costs of one d o from King's Bench to Exchequer Chamber

Plaintiff's side £28:15:0.

Defendants side 14.18.6.

Together £43:13.6

Multiplied by 1247, the n o presented in d o 3 years, gives the amount of d o profit for d o years in the Exchequer Chamber

manufactory £54,460:14:6

Profit in both manufactories for the three years, viz. £84,339:0:9

Divided by 3. years the average profit for one year £28,113:0:3.
