Evidence
The On this occasion, for giving an idea of perfection carried into practice
two modes of extraction require to be brought presented to view
on the same line: viz. the mode pursued in Parliamentary
Committees, and the mode pursued in Jury trial,
presented, not it is true, as highest in standing as yet, either of them, on
not as being each of them altogether at the pitch of perfection,
the very summit of the scale of perfection, or at least not Jury trial,
but as contributing capable, when put together, of giving
enabling the mind to form an idea of it: the Parliamentary mode as being nearest
to perfection, the Jury mode as being being more the most familiar
to the public mind.
On this same occasion, be it observed, the composition of the
judicatory is a subject that should be kept compleatly out of view.
The composition of the judicatory How important so
ever in itself, and, with reference to the ultimate result
in b of the enquiry yet, with reference to the point subject here in question,
viz. the mode of receipt and extraction, in a matter it is a matter comparatively foreign and irrelevant.
In the case of Jury trial mode of extraction pursued
in Jury trial, the great defect is the want of time for recollection,
and including consequently the non-employment of writing
in character of an instrument for perfecting and exhibiting the
results fruits of it. It is by this deficiency that in cases attended
with a certain degree of complication cases of account for example Jury trial is absolutely
unfitted for use for its declared purposes in which cases, the
no decision being produced by it, the party who is in the right is suffering suffers the whole of the burthen
without a possibility of the any benefit from it, the serpent
being is thus substituted to the fish, it is and becomes neither more nor less than an instrument
of from deceit and depredation in the hands of Judge and Co the Lawyers predatory profession
as has been elsewhere been demonstrated.† † Scotch Reform p.
