For the bold sentence, as interpreted, it refers to the richs could pay abundantly for waiving poor's right so that the matter of trust or land could not be fairly adjudicated even it was arbitrated in the Court of Chancery.
Please let me know if my interpretation is wrong. Thanks.
This is the Court of Chancery, which has its decaying houses and its blighted lands
in every shire, which has its worn-out lunatic in every madhouse and its dead in every churchyard, which has its ruined suitor with his slipshod heels and threadbare dress borrowing and begging through the round of every man's acquaintance, which gives to monied might the means abundantly of wearying out the right, which so exhausts finances, patience, courage, hope, so overthrows the brain and breaks the heart, that there is not an honourable man among its practitioners who would not give—who does not often give—the warning, "Suffer any wrong that can be done you rather than come here!"
