Juries
Another advantage a Judge derives from his
permanency and which the Juries from the
want of that quality are destitute of. He may
apply to our cause the knowledge of the characters characters
derived from the behaviour of the same persons
in proceeding causes. + Henderson & Jh. Craswaled causes many out of who serve history. The opportunity An application A process
of this sort is not on his part as on theirs
an act of mere arbitrary favour partiality or disfavour
which may have interest or affection or enmity
or mere for its sole cause. He can know
nothing that the public knows not of his knowing.
Whatever incidental judgment of this sort be it lies
in his way to form has been grounded on legal
documents on evidence given on transactions carried
on in the face of the Court and of the public : whatever
information he is master of in this way the public is master
of as well as he. Not the smallest shadow of
an opinion can he form on such a subject, but
what of reasonable will certain and public documents
to support it : Hense documents will always
be assignable : they might therefore always to be and may always be assigned.
What on the present plan is the most arbitrary
operation in all judicature will on this plan be
fixed and bound down to the standard rule of propriety truth & justice
as any other. The history of the Court will be the
register of the characters of its suitors.
