A lawsuit is like a HHH building we cast. up the cost ill gross, and under- HH reckon it ; but having begun, we are trailed along - RfiH ; through several items, till' we can neither bear the IHBH account nor leave off,-though inclined to do so. HBIH The anxiety, the trouble the attendance, the haz- BHl ard, checks, the vexatious delays, the surrepti- jHfl tious advantage taken; of us,- the hopes deferred".
