Evidence
In the penal branch especially the higher parts of it Among the Romanists the great anxiety is one would think were but an innocent
man should not be punished; among the Anglican – lest
a guilty man should not go free. At its definitive hearing
called the trial, the defendant whatever evidence the Defendant
has to produce he produces without notice. Be it ever so
false, and the falsity of it ever so satisfactorily capable of being
disproved, he the prosecutor is not permitted to contradict it. In causes
non-penal the mischief finds in the practice of the Trials a
partial remedy: between part individual and individual, yes:
but for if no interest for it but that of the public the benefit of public justice it must not be.
