    all do their share towards this consummation . It will not be effected by royal commission , nor by Lord Chancellors . We have done our part , if we have taught our readers this truth : we learned it from Henry Brougham seven years ago . All that he has done yet , is to reduce the expense of a suit ( at the price of some

    additional delay ) from ,, perhaps , 650 / . to , perhaps , 620 / . if indeed it reduces it at all , which we doubt , instead of to 60 / . 16 / . or 6 / . For , for passing and settling a small executor ' s account 6 / . should be ample pay . There might be a worse way of going to work than to fix it at this . Enact that Lord Brougham ( or the Chancellor for the time being ) should have such an account taken for 6 / . and give him a month to do it in , and we will

    answer for it he finds some simpler way than the amended perfection of legal reason has yet invented . It would be applying his new system of a fixed duty to be done for a fixed salary , instead of for fees , to better purpose than the paltry handling to which he has put it .
