Obs.
Juries § 4. Innate defects thereon over several characters by the guilty
characters of the several who are an innocent character: an a further
investigation is might be effectually would wash it out: wind away removed:
washed out: but further investigation is impossible and there
the matter rests the business terminated
In the course of the struggle, suspicion falls on the
other hand on an innocent characters: further investigation
would clear them it up: but further investigation
is impossible. To a friend of mankind,
to a lover of truth and justice, the triumph of
wickedness must surely be a melancholy spectacle.
How often is the eye affected by this spectacle exhibited in actual
by the history of a trial by Jury! This it is
true is but one out of a multitude of efficient causes
which concurs in the production of that reproach
to justice: an a list in the front of which may
be placed the wanton and inconsistent rejection
of evidence on a thousand or f absurd pretences
contrary repugnant to the practice of the domestic tribunal and
to unsophisticated common sense. But these belong
not to the present subject.
