§. [2.] Examination of a Defendant's Examination

1
On Defendant's examination
if he confesses judgement Judge's decree
accordingly

Enactive

Art. 1. The defendant being in the presence of
the Judge, his examination will therefore be taken. On that occasion
he will thereupon either confess the design or deny it. If he In case of
confession confesses it, the Judge will pronounce his decree accordingly.

2
If he denies course to
be pursued

If he denies it In case of denial, the Judge on the ground of the defendants evidence
singly, or after hearing such other evidence which the
case affords will [determine and declare whether there
were or were be or be not grounds sufficient or more or less approaching to
sufficient for suspicion of such design: if given no grounds
he will] declare the suspicion altogether groundless, insufficiently
grounded or well-grounded: if groundless, he will decree impose
a fine on the informant as above: if insufficiently grounded, he will impose
such a fine or not as he sees cause: if sufficiently grounded
he will employ the comminative remedy with or without
the subive, at all events he will cause-record the
denial, taking care that it shall be in such a sort
and degree determinate, that no suspicion can have
place that the supposed challengee understood himself
to have received a challenge and declined it: and of such
designative declaration an an exemplar signed by the defendant
will be delivered to the pursuer.

3
Course that the
supposed challenger
may pursue so to shape
his denial as to make it
believed that he gave
the challenge

Instructional

Note that, in a case of this sort where if on the part in the breast
of the supposed challenger a sentiment of ill will as toward
the supposed challengee has place, a course which the supposed
challenger will naturally be disposed to take, is — so to shape
his denial as that while it will not leave a sufficient ground aware
for the application of remedy in any shape, punitive, satisfactive
suppo or even suppressive or even preventive, will, at the same time,
have the effect of producing in the public mind an opinion or suspicion that
that by the supposed challenger
a challenge was by
understood to have made
and acceptance declined:
in a word of fixing on him the imputation of deficiency in respect of fortitude.
