Abercrombie and Fitch617

In what terms could it be expected 1 should ad¬dress that Judge ? 1 had to complaiu of injury: it became necessary to set forth that injury. Seveu actions bad beeu tried by the Commissioners thus said to. be libelled, and each action contrary to r evidence, to the facts adduced, to mani¬fest equity, and common justice, was decided against me. An eighth, wherein I was defendaut, was of such palpable malice in its origin, and of absurdity in its complexion, that the Court was com¬pelled to give Abercrombie sentence in my favour;, but it, nevertheless, amerced me (the winner) in the costs!! A ninth, (in- whose decision the whole of the fore¬going would inevitably have merged, and Abercrombie Outlet which, it was clearly manifested to the Court, should, with any Abercrombie and Fitch Outlet regard Abercrombie and Fitch to justice, have taken precedence of all the others,) was wholly unheard, aud referred to Cajje Town; while the former eight, entirely originating iu tbe merits, and dependent ou the issue of the ninth, were absolutely decided upon, as if that ninth had been tried, and sentence pro¬nounced against me! These proceed¬ings throughout, were also characterized by the most flagrant iudecorum and partiality iu these Judges; every plau which could possibly oppose my chances of success was sedulously adopted. My oppoueut was allowed to be made the vehicle of personal insult, and a ruffian was permitted to brand me with epithets in open Court as unfounded as they were detestable ! How, let me ask, could 1 characterize this flagitious aggression to his Excellency, but in terms adapted to it ? Would it have become me, with a specific accusation to advance against these men, to have modified that accu- satiou, thus approaching this " higher jurisdiction" with a lie? I maintain, and I am prepared to prove, that the whole tenor or their conduct, in my par¬ticular case, was " a corrupt violation of justice," morally disqualifying them for the discharge ot those sacred functions with which 11 they were so injudiciously entrusted." In what other language could I then express myself ? I had to com¬plain of injustice : how could I possibly effect this, but by stating that injustice ? I had to complain of manifest corruption, of venality, of favouritism, and (that most execrable of its kind) judicial op¬pression; and 1 glory in having dis¬tinguished them by their proper appel¬lations.
