Evidence
6. In the affidavit mode, matter and expression
both being, as above, altogether at the choice of the deponent,
and with his professional adviser and assistant, the consequence
is – that in the case of mala fides, every advantage
is enjoyed, which is derivable from the faculty
of giving, to the texture of the several declarations producing by means
and allegations taken separately, by means
of vague generalities, out of the reach of being,
as in the open and interrogated mode, reduced
by apt interrogation to particularity, – to of producing, of givingviz. in the texture
of the several declarations and allegations, taken separately,
whatsoever modes and degrees of indistinctness
obscurity, and ambiguity are found most
convenient: this, in each distinct part distinguishable
part taken separately: and moreover, by studied
disorder and confusion in the arrangement of the
parts, every serviceable addition to indistinctness,
obscurity, ambiguity, evasiveness evasiveness
and deceptiousness, in the composition of the whole.
