98 wild horses in Siberia. Sept. 18, 
It is in vain to think that the vigilance of an ore 
dinary, will ever be sufficient to remove such com- 
plicated causes of delay. Besides that anartful party is 
often able to influence the pafsions and prejudices 
of the judge in the way of creating confusion, for —

judgement. . 
Nothing fhort of necefsity will ever compel 
parties to forgo every attempt of that kind, and 
prevent the judge from indulging them in any des 
gree. Indeed the beauty and excellency of forms 
is, not only to constrain the parties, but also to fet- 
ter the judge himself, without influencing his opi- 
nion ; and so to free him as it were from the weak- — 
nefses, and errors of human nature. But how that can 
be accomplifhed.in the present case, is a matter that 
must probably be left to your lerdfhip’s own conside- 
ration. I fhall however submit what occurs to me 
upon the subject in a future letter, and I remain

occasion to exercise their natural talents ; and thesq 
appear to be entirely obliterated.
