Evidence
§. 4. Judge and Co, False evidence rendered by them dispunishable,
where profitable to themselves. – Mendacity-Licence.
Thus much as to propriety: – for practice, learned
ingenuity has disavowed and pursued a more convenient
course.
In promotion of this plan further prosecution of
this plan, in point . By means Under the English, not to speak of the other systems of technical procedure,
by means of the command, of so easily, when indirectly exercised by power over language, an expedient
was found of for rendering mendacity punishable
or unpunishable at pleasure. In the person of a party litigant or a witness, When it was to
be rendered punishable, the allegation or statement statement
was called evidence, and, to mark it as such,
a particular ceremony – the ceremony of an oath –
was made to accompany the delivery of it. When
it was to be rendered dispunishable, it was not to
be called evidence: – it was to be called pleading –
pleadings – is anything else but evidence, and
the ceremony was to be carefully kept from touching
it.
