Evidence Introdn

Giving in commencement or continuance to war, necessary
or unnecessary is not the only effect, produced or producible, in relation to that scourge by the
preference given to procedure and in a bad in an unfit shape, and
in a good fit shape. Another effect is – giving encrease
to the miseries of war, by delivering to into the hands of the enemy, to
an unlimited amount, vessels and their cargoes, for
want of that protection, of which, by the factitious uncertainty,
delay, vexation, and expence, manufactured by this
unfit mode of carrying on procedure and collecting
evidence, they are deprived. By a sample or two several samples of
Proctor's Bills, and the observation to for which they afforded
matter, this effect has been brought to view in Cobbets
Political Register for 1810. Where the enemy's
privateer or other ship of war is to a certain
degree small it becomes clear, that, in consequence of
the uncertainty of success in the cause suit necessary for
condemnation, coupled with the certainty of the expence,
the capturing of it would be an operation not reconcileable
to the rules of human precedence. And so in
the case of a an enemy's vessel of the mercantile
class. But, the smaller the vessel, the nearer can it come cæteris
paribus even to the shore. Thus it is, that our own
shores are so frequently lined with the enemy's vessels of war, and the
enemy's shores with his own mercantile vessels of the mercantile
class, navigating in effect under the protection,
set most efficiently (though unquestionably,
in the way of volition directly applied to this particular
effect, not willingly afforded) of the and
Right Worshipful and Right Honourable and Honourable
and Learned Gentlemen
abovementioned.
Thus it is, that⊞1 ⊞ in the Prize Court the
enemy receives the
same sort of protection
and encouragement, as,
in Equity, and the Lords,
(not to speak of Common
Law) the malâ
fide suitor – and from
the operations of he same
causes.
