They would undoubtedly make strict enquiries into the truth of the story that Lord Rochester has just put up, and the result I can quite see it would drift us into one of those exposés, those painful and interminable lawsuits, destructive alike to property, to dignity, and that ease of mind inseparable from health and the enjoyment of those positions to which my labours and your Grace's lineage entitle us."
But such was the case only with women of the lower classes; the lady of high birth acted through her agents. When so many women were engaged in business, occasions for lawsuits would naturally arise; we shall see next what power the woman had to sue. It was a standing maxim of the law that a woman by herself could not conduct a case in court.
Hatred, lying, cheating, using false measures, removing boundaries, adultery, insincerity are denounced in the incantation texts, and in accord with this standard, we see in the records of lawsuits and agreements between parties clear indications of the stringent laws that prevailed in order to protect citizens against infringement of their rights.
A long stairway ran up the outside of the building, landing on a gallery in front, from which the sheriff announced the sitting of the honorable court of Keith County. At home in Texas, lawsuits were so rare that though I was a grown man, the novelty of this one absorbed me.
At length, she added, "That is all. You have had good luck first misfortune afterward. You have had a friend, who has exerted himself with success to extricate you from it.

It is not prudent in matters of business, my dear sir, to put down anything on paper that can be avoided." Mr. Spencer opened his eyes. "Matters of business, Mr. Beaufort!" "Well, is not marriage a matter of business, and a very grave matter too? More lawsuits about marriage and settlements, &c., than I like to think of. But to change the subject.

No longer did the Count of Limburg-Styrum parade his army of one colonel, six officers, and two privates in the valley of the Roehr: he and his passed under the sway of Murat, and the lapse of these pigmy forces made a national army possible in the dim future. No more did the Imperial lawyers at Wetzlar browse on evergreen lawsuits: justice was administered after the concise methods of Napoleon.
