Evidence
In the cases in On the occasions in which there exists no other person by whom
if interrogation is to be performed, it can be performed, if it be performed
at all, the admission of the Judge to act in the character of an
interrogator, is matter of absolute necessity.
In th all other cases the admission of the Judge to act in
the character of an interrogator is matter of evident use, and
seems not liable to an any objection: it affords security against deception
on his part it affords security, and that any inconvenience of
which it may be productive in the shape of delay, vexation
and expence should be preponderant, can not with propriety
be supposed – is a supposition inconsistent with that of
his operating in the character of a Judge.
3. That a Plff on the occasion of his delivering his
testimony should have it in his power to have receive questions
put to him by his own Advocate, is an arrangement, the
use of which in one point of view, is obvious and incontestable:
On the part of the advocate may reasonably be expected a
degree of appropriate skill beyond what can be on every occasion be
reasonably expected on the part of the client† † See §. 1. Impudence: and as to information,
whatever information the client may be expected to possess, the
Advocate may through his means be expected to possess.
The only objection is that which grounds itself on has respect to the danger
of mendacity-serving information: But of this in another place.‡ ‡
