Evidence

In Jury trial the main grand features of excellence are –
examination, interrogation by parties on both
sides, vivâ voce examination vivâ voce, consequent
exclusion to a considerable degree of the faculties
of mendacious invention and suggestion, and these together with the publicity
given to that part of the system of procedure. Of these, in
the contradistinction to epistolary statement, and
written depositions, consistency of written statements minuted
down in the shape of answers to preconcerted and written interrogatories, vivâ
voce deposition was the necessary result of the rudeness
and ignorance of the age: while, in contradistinction to
interrogation by the Judge alone, interrogation by the parties performed by persons
interested on both sides, as well as by the Judge, – this and the publicity
of the enquiry was, with or without any adequate or clear conception
of use and subserviency to truth and justice, the natural
if not the necessary result or accompaniment, of the
what there was of popularity in the constitution of the
judicatory: a Jury being a sort of Select Committee, gradually and silently substituted to the whole body of the freeholders – to the whole body of them,
mass of that portion of the people whose feelings and interests were alone in those days considered as having
any claim to notice. the whole body of the freeholders.
