Abstract:
Essentially just, as well as imperative, as is the present
demand for a searching and extensive reform in our methods
of judicial procedure, it is unquestionably attended with the same
danger which always accompanies the course of reformation when
it has been unwisely resisted, or unduly delayed?the danger of
ill-considered and ill-directed change. That the machinery of our
present superior courts is too cumbrous, dilatory and expensive, is
unquestionably true; it is true also, that an endeavour should be
made to have the administration of justice effected with the greatest
degree of cheapness and expedition, provided that, in the pursuit
of these objects, others equally essential be not sacrificed or
impaired.
