Evidence

In this case, suppose a man to whom it were not known
or at least suspected, that an there are occasions on which no use
credit can safely be given to any thing that comes officially from
a set of English Judges, what would be the consequence? The consequence
would be, such as hath just been stated.

In general, so notorious is the untrustworthiness of the English system of procedure,
even the to the most uninformed – to those who know nothing scarce
any thing else have scarce any other knowledge of it. Instances
however will sometimes happen in which a man, unfortunate
enough not to suspect deceit from such a quarter, will act as if
there were no such deceit, and be deceived accordingly. I remember
hearing a particular instance of a man who on an errand of this
kind came post-haste from to Westminster Hall from some place in
Shropshire, a couple of hundred miles or so. It afforded great merriment
to the lawyers, and was told as a good joke.

Should a the man by any accident have cast an eye on the
a what is called a Bill in Equity – as an instrument of the
sort of that which drew upon him the misfortune of receiving
such an address his error, he would have therein have received as full a confirmation
as it is in the power of words to give. He would therein have
read a description of the sort of Writ prayed for by his adversary:
a writ commanding not appearance simply without any thing more
but personal appearance. What is the Writ description of the
suit as therein prayed for? – His Majesty's most gracious writ ...
of Subpoenâ ... commanding them, at a certain day, and under a
certain pain therein to be limited, personally to be and appear before
Your Honours in this Honourable Court, and then and there full time, direct and perfect answer make it &c.
