Evidence

By the previous intervention of the operations inquiry conducted in the plan of summary
procedure, Jury Trial might itself be rendered in a prodigious no small
degree more subservient better adapted than it is at present to the purposes of
justice.

All facts about which there is no dispute, of which there are
sometimes many in cause, would of course be set down as proved:
The Of so much of the inquiry as concerned those all such facts the inquiry
before the Jury would thus be disembarassed.

A case not at all unnatural or unfrequent is

Cases whi will sometimes happen which afford a number of
facts so circumstanced which being either altogether or at least easily separable from each other
without inconvenience, would if the whole inquiry were to be
carried on together, compose give birth to a mass of evidence too
large to be compressed into the compass of a single hearing.
Under the existing order of things a case of this description is
either by one means or other withdrawn altogether from the cognizance of a Jury, or if
tried by a Jury badly tried, the Jury not having time so much
as to hear all the evidence, much less digest it in their
minds.

By means of the previous inquiry in the summary mode
one of those classes cases of this description might be brought on the benefit of this
mode of trial might be communicated to some classes of cases
which at present are debarred from it: and in to others in which
it is employed though unfit, it might be rendered fit, and employed
accordingly.
