i many respects, 10th the author and pam,
phle0 that there are some very important
omissions in that valuable and ingenious
work and to the best of my memory, the
one now alluded to. The right of appeal,
| view differently from many of the writer's
! in Pennsy ivania. would certainly in this
| case admit of appeal on the following con-
ditions, viz: That the party dissatisfied
with the first decision may have second
or third reference, by paving all costs incl
dent thereto, but 10 no case admit OF an an.
peal to court, as it would most certainly
augment litigation, and destroy the very in
tentons of the law. We all know 4" C,nnc
prncipium grave - yet it's certain, lis an
easy thing to succeed, when business is
rightly began.
But, if attention is wanted in the first in
stance, ten to one if the whole is not lost
(however pure) from want of this requisite.
Gentlemen, you will consider matuyely the
above observations, as hope the time is
not far distant when you will most CON,
ple,e!y enjoy the benefits of this wholesome
law. would also refer you the publica,i.
ons in late Aurora, relative to this point.
A FRIEND.
