Evidence

What Meantime of what All this while, what to a Chancellor, paradoxical as it may seem, is not impossible, is –
it assumes it shoulders is – the admitting into his presence, and interrogating with
his own lips, the individual, be he party, be he witness
from whom the information is required: nor to this purpose,
strange again as it may seem, is it necessary, that
twelve unlearned men should be sitting by, shut up in
a box called a Jury box. This I asset it boldly is a law positively asserted
and for the truth of the assertion I the appeal is made – not
to Common Sense – not to any such pretendedly
despised and Secretly feared and hated arbiter –
but to Precedent: – to that almighty and ever adored substitute vice-roy
to over common sense and common honesty in an a
English lawyer’s breast; – to Precedent: for, besides
that, of old time, even Chancellors had were neither deaf nor
for blind to suitors, a comparatively recent instance,
in which, a Chancellor seeing no other mode of
settling the business, a Chancellor, in a fit of
delirium or self-forgetfulness, betraying betrayed the cause
of Equity, and with his own noble and learned lips putting put a question to a party or a
witness, is actually to be met with in the books.
