A60753	Some abuses of the law detected in a seasonable discourse thereupon between a Parliament-man and a lawyer, now recomended to the consideration of the Parliament.		1689 (1689)	Wing S4465; ESTC R25773	4,268	5

some_o abuse_n of_o the_o law_n detect_v in_o a_o seasonable_a discourse_n thereupon_o between_o a_o parliament-man_n and_o a_o lawyer_n now_o recomend_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o parliament_n sir_n lawyer_n i_o be_o glad_a i_o have_v meet_v with_o you_o for_o i_o long_o to_o have_v some_o serious_a discourse_n with_o you_o i_o understand_v that_o some_o hotheaded_a people_n that_o never_o think_v themselves_o well_o but_o when_o they_o be_v reform_v forsooth_o have_v a_o month_n mind_n to_o be_v reform_v the_o law_n too_o member_n why_o true_o sir_n since_o the_o discourse_n have_v be_v on_o foot_n i_o have_v take_v some_o pain_n to_o inspect_v the_o law_n and_o i_o find_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n in_o it_o that_o serve_v only_a to_o perplex_v cause_n and_o be_v of_o no_o other_o use_n in_o the_o world_n now_o true_o i_o be_o for_o pare_n off_o all_o this_o and_o many_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v that_o need_v abundance_n of_o redress_n law._n pray_v sir_n let_v we_o know_v what_o these_o thing_n be_v for_o i_o think_v we_o have_v nothing_o that_o be_v superfluous_a mem._n why_o i_o myself_o have_v a_o occasion_n to_o outlaw_n a_o fugitive_n fellow_n other_o day_n and_o before_o i_o can_v get_v one_o write_v to_o the_o purpose_n i_o be_v fain_o to_o have_v three_o or_o four_o that_o be_v whole_o useless_a i_o think_v you_o call_v they_o capias_fw-la alias_o and_o plures_fw-la and_o there_o must_v be_v fifteen_o day_n between_o the_o date_n and_o return_n of_o every_o one_o of_o these_o useless_a writ_n beside_o the_o danger_n of_o have_v any_o error_n in_o they_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o impertinent_a be_v notwithstanding_o the_o use_n of_o almost_o all_o original_a writ_n be_v lay_v aside_o for_o now_o you_o do_v not_o summon_v the_o defendant_n but_o proceed_v to_o capias_fw-la and_o take_v bail_v thereon_o yet_o forsooth_o those_o original_n must_v be_v continue_v and_o the_o want_n of_o they_o or_o the_o disagree_v of_o they_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o proceed_n shall_v vitiate_v the_o whole_a cause_n a_o industrious_a tenant_n of_o my_o other_o day_n that_o have_v get_v a_o fair_a judgement_n by_o confession_n for_o a_o hundred_o pound_n have_v his_o judgement_n reverse_v and_o he_o be_v without_o remedy_n because_o a_o careless_a or_o a_o knavish_a attorney_n file_v no_o original_a and_o yet_o these_o original_n be_v of_o no_o use_n in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o strange_a not_o long_o since_o a_o neighbour_n of_o i_o and_o one_o of_o the_o freeholder_n who_o i_o represent_v have_v a_o occasion_n to_o bring_v two_o action_n the_o one_o of_o trespass_n and_o the_o other_o of_o debt_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n be_v fair_o try_v and_o he_o have_v verdict_n in_o both_o and_o it_o cost_v he_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o money_n and_o pain_n too_o for_o he_o neglect_v his_o other_o business_n and_o come_v to_o town_n to_o attend_v it_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o because_o in_o the_o action_n of_o trespass_n on_o the_o record_n it_o be_v quod_fw-la cum_fw-la in_o the_o declaration_n the_o judgement_n be_v set_v aside_o because_o the_o word_n cum_fw-la be_v too_o much_o and_o it_o be_v as_o dangerous_a to_o omit_v it_o in_o other_o action_n and_o in_o the_o action_n of_o debt_n though_o his_o counsel_n tell_v he_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o error_n in_o the_o judgement_n the_o defendant_n who_o have_v the_o long_a purse_n have_v bring_v a_o writ_n of_o error_n which_o be_v grant_v of_o course_n which_o will_v stave_v it_o off_o three_o term_n more_o and_o true_o i_o fear_v before_o that_o time_n be_v out_o the_o poor_a fellow_n must_v run_v away_o i_o tell_v these_o story_n other_o day_n to_o a_o ingeniout_n dutchman_n who_o be_v curious_a to_o be_v inform_v of_o our_o law_n and_o he_o be_v amaze_v to_o hear_v they_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o in_o holland_n in_o many_o case_n they_o can_v arrest_v have_v a_o trial_n and_o execution_n in_o two_o or_o three_o day_n time_n without_o any_o of_o these_o encumbrance_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o see_v it_o so_o here_o too_o for_o what_o need_n be_v there_o i_o pray_v of_o your_o common_a useless_a imparlance_n as_o you_o call_v they_o only_o to_o protract_v time_n enrich_v the_o lawyer_n and_o beggar_n the_o

destroy_v the_o grandeur_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o law_n which_o i_o hope_v the_o lawyer_n in_o the_o house_n and_o in_o spite_n of_o your_o tooth_n we_o shall_v always_o have_v some_o there_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o preserve_v as_o to_o original_n they_o be_v a_o great_a revenue_n to_o the_o chancellor_n and_o the_o take_v they_o away_o will_v ruin_v the_o cursiter_n almost_o that_o have_v all_o buy_v their_o place_n though_o of_o right_n i_o confess_v they_o ought_v not_o and_o beside_o original_n be_v of_o great_a use_n former_o and_o i_o do_v see_v why_o they_o shall_v be_v lay_v aside_o mem._n former_o all_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o keep_v bow_n and_o arrow_n but_o now_o they_o be_v useless_a and_o gun_n be_v in_o request_n it_o will_v be_v nonsense_n still_o to_o

will_v never_o be_v convert_v at_o that_o rate_n and_o as_o to_o its_o be_v a_o dignity_n to_o the_o law_n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o great_a indignity_n and_o it_o be_v much_o like_o a_o story_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o old_a dotard_n that_o will_v leave_v his_o sword_n off_o but_o will_v wear_v his_o scabbard_n for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o thing_n law._n but_o i_o hope_v these_o be_v all_o your_o objection_n mem._n no_o sir_n i_o can_v cram_v a_o volume_n with_o they_o have_v i_o time_n to_o recount_v they_o i_o have_v be_v serious_o consider_v of_o fine_n and_o recovery_n and_o true_o i_o think_v that_o either_o no_o entail_v or_o remainder_n ought_v to_o be_v defeat_v by_o any_o way_n whatever_o or_o that_o all_o such_o entail_v and_o remainder_n as_o may_v be_v defeat_v by_o fines_n or_o recovery_n shall_v be_v whole_o void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n without_o such_o troublesome_a chargeable_a impertinent_a and_o dangerous_a ceremony_n for_o if_o you_o will_v allow_v they_o to_o be_v defeat_v why_o not_o without_o this_o charge_n and_o danger_n to_o the_o client_n not_o long_o since_o a_o kinsman_n of_o i_o that_o have_v purchase_v a_o estate_n entail_v have_v a_o fine_a and_o recovery_n pass_v for_o his_o security_n and_o he_o be_v now_o like_a to_o loose_v it_o the_o fine_a it_o be_v fear_v will_v be_v reverse_v because_o there_o be_v not_o fifteen_o day_n between_o the_o testae_fw-la and_o return_v of_o the_o writ_n of_o covenant_n as_o to_o the_o recovery_n either_o the_o writ_n of_o entry_n or_o 〈◊〉_d be_v lose_v all_o which_o writ_n be_v whole_o useless_a in_o themselves_o and_o further_o as_o to_o the_o recovery_n in_o a_o feign_a judgement_n between_o the_o demandant_n tenant_n and_o john_n wheeler_n there_o be_v a_o fatal_a mistake_n in_o the_o shame_n story_n forsooth_o now_o be_v it_o not_o a_o deplorable_a thing_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v loose_v a_o estate_n on_o these_o account_n that_o he_o have_v honest_o pay_v for_o not_o but_o that_o i_o be_o for_o public_a register_n in_o their_o room_n for_o all_o deed_n whatever_o that_o affect_v inheritance_n to_o prevent_v fraud_n law._n sure_o you_o think_v yourself_o wise_a than_o all_o that_o go_v before_o you_o you_o be_v for_o turn_v the_o world_n upside_o down_o this_o will_v impoverish_v one_o quarter_n of_o the_o family_n that_o be_v support_v

talk_v thus_o sir_n because_o you_o do_v apprehend_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o thing_n mem._n true_o there_o be_v a_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n in_o it_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v the_o law_n that_o concern_v every_o body_n aught_o to_o be_v as_o

easy_a as_o possible_a as_o to_o my_o son_n i_o have_v rather_o he_o get_v a_o little_a honest_o than_o a_o great_a deal_n by_o oppression_n which_o never_o wear_v well_o the_o king_n you_o see_v by_o his_o renounce_v chimney-money_n be_v not_o fond_a of_o tax_n that_o oppress_v the_o people_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a chimney-money_n have_v not_o ruin_v more_o family_n than_o this_o have_v do_v and_o may_v do_v and_o as_o to_o your_o other_o argument_n i_o have_v hear_v a_o soldier_n use_v the_o same_o against_o disband_v a_o army_n when_o all_o trouble_n be_v over_o and_o there_o be_v no_o further_a occasion_n of_o they_o why_o say_v he_o several_z officer_n and_o soldier_n have_v no_o other_o livelihood_n and_o if_o you_o disband_v we_o we_o must_v either_o beg_v rob_n or_o starve_v and_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v a_o madness_n for_o any_o nation_n to_o continue_v they_o to_o the_o oppression_n of_o all_o for_o fear_v they_o shall_v reduce_v some_o particular_a man_n to_o their_o shift_n another_o horrid_a oppression_n be_v this_o i_o have_v know_v a_o countryman_n bring_v a_o action_n but_o for_o ten_o pound_n and_o i_o have_v see_v a_o attorney_n bill_n of_o fifteen_o pound_n for_o the_o get_n it_o and_o if_o he_o endeavour_v any_o redress_n against_o this_o knave_n the_o remedy_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o disease_n law._n true_o i_o have_v think_v of_o that_o with_o shame_n and_o i_o can_v think_v but_o of_o this_o one_o remedy_n for_o it_o that_o be_v if_o any_o attorney_n shall_v make_v a_o oppressive_a bill_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v and_o

way_n of_o redress_n and_o after_o this_o it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o persuade_v a_o attorney_n to_o make_v a_o roguish_a bill_n mem._n true_o i_o believe_v you_o have_v hit_v the_o mark_n set_v a_o thief_n to_o catch_v a_o thief_n as_o the_o say_n be_v but_o another_o great_a oppression_n i_o have_v see_v in_o the_o law_n be_v the_o dangerous_a and_o useless_a nicety_n in_o plead_n and_o i_o think_v the_o late_a parliament_n have_v do_v very_o well_o in_o most_o of_o their_o act_n about_o penalty_n to_o order_v the_o general_a issue_n to_o be_v plead_v and_o that_o the_o

set_v aside_o mere_o on_o this_o account_n and_o i_o do_v see_v the_o advantage_n of_o the_o nice_a plead_n to_o any_o but_o the_o lawyer_n law._n why_o if_o you_o shall_v strip_v we_o at_o this_o rate_n you_o will_v leave_v we_o nothing_o mem._n nothing_o that_o be_v dangerous_a chargeable_a and_o impertinent_a but_o all_o that_o be_v real_o requisite_a another_o thing_n be_v this_o i_o think_v it_o a_o very_a hard_a case_n that_o all_o law_n like_o the_o lady_n clothes_n must_v come_v from_o london_n forsooth_o all_o the_o record_n must_v be_v make_v up_o and_o keep_v here_o and_o writ_n must_v be_v send_v from_o hence_o only_o even_o for_o we_o that_o live_v at_o the_o remote_a part_n why_o may_v not_o we_o make_v up_o and_o keep_v our_o record_n in_o the_o country_n that_o they_o relate_v to_o and_o have_v our_o process_n upon_o the_o spot_n without_o all_o this_o trouble_n for_o it_o law._n pray_v sir_n no_o more_o on_o it_o you_o have_v distract_v i_o already_o mem._n there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o and_o then_o i_o have_v do_v with_o you_o for_o the_o present_a and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o law_n of_o late_a be_v swell_v to_o that_o bulk_n and_o there_o be_v so_o many_o book_n on_o it_o and_o such_o variety_n of_o opinion_n in_o they_o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o disputable_a point_n but_o a_o crafty_a lawyer_n will_v cite_v five_o or_o six_o
