III. To Chancellor of
Exchequer or Judge
this irrelevancy an
instrument for defeating
Justice
Seen above, badness
of prosecutors motives
a ground of exemption
for delinquent, no
delinquent but may
be exempted.
p.19
46 —
Tortured words, lawyers
instrument for torturing
men. Malice among
the usefullest. May innocents
destroyable by
it, all delinquents saveable
p.19

1. In this and that
case to hang him malice
is by Judge implied in
defendent: why? because
no honest juryman would
find it.
p.20

By the same word
guilty defendant is
saved, and obnoxious
prosecutor mortified
p.20
48(a) —
Clean-hands a
phrase exempting guilty
defendants in a Kings
Bench Information.
Prosecutors hand must
be clean.
But prosecutors hands
need never be pronounced
clean: malice none, prosecution
none
p.20
II. Vansittart
49.
To exalted hypocrisy
malice a doubly useful
word. 1 Malice or
other corrupt affection is
gratified by it, praise
of exquisite moral sensibility
is earned. Judges, law
officers Witnesses, Prosecutors
all shall be pure. Judges
who before such law
officers, who while such
let them themselves out
to hire. Never shall
evil be done that good
may come.

IV This a resource
for defendant if guilty;
not otherwise.
How should it not be?
1 The maxim they find
established as above.
2. The matter of fact
is almost always true.
