Evidence

III. Deception favoured; viz. by clouds of irrelevant or
needless matter introduced.

In the open mode, viz. in the way of vivâ
voce examination performed in public, performed by under
the of Advocates, and in the presence of managing
Agents on both sides, with or without that of
parties, it will frequently happen that, by a short
statement made by a witness antecedently examined,
ulterior evidence which, to an unlimited amount,
that would otherwise have been adduced, being
plainly rendered unnecessary, is saved. In the
close mode, all such casual lights being shut
out, the consequence is – that lest any possible
advantage should be lost, whatsoever evidence
presents a possibility of proving serviceable to the
party, is, by each party, irrevocably and irreducibly
collected extruded extracted. Moreover, questions & answers
being in this mode all committed to writing,⊞ ⊞ and the string of questions that shall be put to the witness pre-appointed, hence needless
delay, vexation, & expence.
