1821. April 19. 1822 Aug 9. Constitu. Code. First Lines

Look to a man whose situation places him under
the temptation above described — see him putting into his pocket
the reward thus proffered by it — conceive him standing up
and saying — never, while from either the prospect or the receipt of
this reward, had my conduct ever experience any the slightest
influence — a declaration to any such effect can it, in
the instance of any man which ever breathed have presented
any so much as the slightest claim to credence: — yes:
if when, for the obtainment of legal evidence of a capital
crime, pardon, together with a thousand pound reward,
has been offered to any partaker in the crime, who in such
sort with the effect of producing the complexion connection of a fellow
criminal, will repair to the indicatory and give his narrative

to of the case — if, in the giving of this narrative course of
this narrative, hearing him declare he should take upon him to say —
I was not influenced with by the prospect of the £1,000 — I was not influenced
w by the assurance of saving my life — neither by the
assurance of receiving the £1,000, nor by the assurance of saving
my forfeited life, neither I am I influenced by the statement I
am now giving — if with a protestation declaration to this effect in his mouth,
the malefactor could present any claim to credence.

If, the the assurances to this effect, protestations were
added — if, to protestations, eyes lifted up to heaven — if, to eyes
lifted up to heaven, summonses to God to come down and
bear witness — if, to summonses to God to bear witness, tears —
if, to tears, paintings were added — the claim made by the simple
declarations — would any additional title claim be made to
credence either in the case of the Chancellor in office or out of
office, or in the case of the minor malefactor be made to
credence; yes, if, by his display in the character of Iago, Mr. Kean
calls him from the grave, calls the dead to life, and transforms himself into that personage.
