Excerpt from A Treatise on the Maryland, Simplified, Preliminary Procedure and Pleading, in Courts of Law But never was it even thought of by the judicial or legis lative mind, to abolish the system itself of special pleading. In the reign of Elizabeth, the national opinion of special pleading is well expressed, by Sir Thomas Smith, in his Commonwealth of England. Having seen, (says he, ) both in France and in other places, many devices, edicts and ordinances how to abridge process, and to find how that long suits in law might be made shorter, I have not per ceived nor read, as yet, so wise, so just, and so well devised a mean found out as this, by any man among us in Europe. Truth it is, that when this fashion hath not been used, and those to whom it is new, it will not be so easily understood, and therefore they may, peradventure, be of contrary judg ment; but the more they do weigh and consider it, the more reasonable they shall find it. This high estimate of special pleading has always been, and continues to be, en tertained by the English nation, as represented in their Courts, and in their Parliament, and by their best writers upon judicial polity.
