Evidence
2, In So on the other hand, in the case where the matter of fact in question is
untrue, instances will be brought to view adduced of classes of principal
facts, to which are or will be will respectively be found
applicable classes of evidentiary facts, of a disprobative
disaffirmatively probative, or (say) disprobative tendency: –
facts of such a nature, that, for want of due attention
to them, supposed facts which, as above, are untrue, are
at any time liable (it will be seen) liable, at any
time, to be believed; – thereby gaining a credence which
is not their due. If, by the indication of any
disprobative fact, so it should happen or should that, in any number of instances that deception, and consequent
misdecision, should in any number of instances come to be prevented, the greater
the number of those instances the greater in this
case would will be the utility, of the condemnations observations by
which mischief, in this shape, will thus have
been prevented averted.
