Review§. 6. Field of Service logical
No says the man in whose eyes the elementary
and practical parts of mathematics and logic and mathematics
in their plain and practical parts are safer guides than either English-bred
or Rome-bred Latin or English law maxim. Think
says he In this occasion case of these as in that or any other evil-doers of the scale on which they respectively operate
individual and finite is the scale on which the immediate
suborner operates: generic and infinite the
scale on which the suborner of the suborner operates
the effect being in the two cases alike in contemplation
as the number of the perjuries respectively produced by
them so is the maleficence and in so far
as in contemplation contemplated the moral guilt of the one to that of the
other.
Think of this Mr Brougham. Think of this Mr Everybody
and My Lord Every-body who with eyes are
opened unless wilfully and inexorably had closed, contribute
on any occasion to the trial of any question to
the decision of any question on the ground of mutually conflicting
affidavit evidence.
Now then, for the benefit of Judge and o in so far
when after their being thus sown broadcast the perjury seeds
which is have produced their fruit, which mode of husbandry
affords the best promise of benefit to the Lords of the
harvest, prosecution for perjury, or quiet forbeaance of it?
In case of prosecu Here they comes present themselves
as mutually antagonizing considerations. Prosecution In the case
of the is it instituted? thereupon comes learned profit
upon the costs thereof. But at the same time per contrà
the check which the by the contemplation of the possibly
eventual punishment
considered in its subsequentially
private
character in the language
of Mr Bentham may
though
with an altogether
degree of
efficiency be applied to
the number of those perjury-yielding and lawyers' profit-yielding affidavits written instruments.. One comfort is – that quacunque via data, let the work come to the worst,
the one thing needful lawyers-profit is sure.
Affidavit work for ever! Perjury,
for ever! Huzza! huzza!
