CHARLES DICKENS


Sir Leicester has no objection to an interminable Chancery suit. It is a slow, expensive, British, constitutional kind of thing.

[Bleak House]

The one great principle of the English law is, to make business for itself. There is no other principle distinctly, certainly, and consistently maintained throughout all its narrow turnings.

[Bleak House]

Equity sends questions to Law. Law sends questions back to Equity; Law finds it can't do this, Equity finds it can't do that; neither can so much as say it can't do anything, without this solicitor instructing and this counsel appearing for A, and that solicitor instructing and that counsel appearing for B.

[Bleak House]

The lawyers have twisted it into such a state of bedevilment that the original merits of the case have long disappeared from the face of the earth. It's about a Will, and the trusts under a Will - or it was once. It's about nothing but Costs now.

[Bleak House]

If the law supposes that, said Mr Bumble, the law is a ass - a idiot.

[Oliver Twist]
