7. Henrion de Pansey, late a president of the Court of Cassation,
remarks in reference to these codes: "In the midst of the innovations of
these later times, a system of uniformity has suddenly engrossed all minds,
and we have had imposed upon us the same weights, the same measures, the
same laws, civil, criminal, rural and commercial. These new codes, like
everything which comes from the hand of man, have imperfections and
obscurities. The administration of them is committed to nearly thirty
sovereign courts and a multitude of petty tribunals, composed of only three
judges, and yet are invested with the right of determining in the last
resort, under many circumstances. Each tribunal, the natural interpreter of
these laws, applies them according to its own view, and the new codes were
scarcely in operation before this beautiful system of uniformity became
nothing more than a vain theory. Authorite Judiciaire, c. 31, s. 10.
