Evidence
Let us come back back once more to the example of to the load of rubbish. I have said that
to subject a man to or save him from the 5s penalty, a witness
ought not to be fetched to England to Westminster Hall from the East Indies. Nor can he.
But why not? – because in that vast treasury of learning there is either has never been an eye to foresee
the hardship, or a heart to feel for it? No, but because there has been
no hand there long enough, to reach to any such distance. Let the
residence of the witness be at the Land's end, the trial at in in Westminster
Hall or Carlisle, the witness must come, be the vexation to him ever so
intolerable.
In speaking of vexation as liable to attach itself to the execution
of measures having the forth for their objects the forthcomingness of persons
and things in the character of evidence two mutually observations were made
that may in the account as between the mischief of admission and do of exclusion non- -admission
ought to be included every item of endeavour of which the perversity of on the part of the
proposed interest was not the cause, and none of which it was the cause.
or or in regard English law by
its disregard, will furnish an illustration of those rules.
In granting or withholding employing or refusing the power of arrestation how gross the necessity or no
necessity, how consummate the indifference disregard of the existence or non-existence of necessity! A witness person on
whose testimony the faculty of doing justice in the cause, whatever be
the importance of it depends, out forms and executes a carries out
execution determination to defeat the ends of justice: no power of arresting no means
securing his evidence by arrest, though a million were to be lost for want
of it. Here you Against the same man have you a demand
to the value of two pound? Though he be is worth a million and
appears every day upon change every day, you may arrest him notwithstanding.
