Evidence
To form the connection does the evidentiary require a fact?
suits informative.
Between the principal fact and the assumed evidentiary fact
is the connection an immediate one? To form it, is there
can no other fact or facts be found, the intervention of which,
as of so many links between them at the two ends extreme links of a chain,
is necessary? If yes, then so many as the can be distinguished of those
intermediate links, so many are the probative facts,
of each which the probative force is liable to be counteracted opposed
and weakened, by a separate set of informative, of disprobative
facts.
In this case, the probative force of circumstantial evidence he undergoes is diminished,
an abatement in the probative force in a sentence analogous in the same way as that
to that in which direct testimony direct testimony
of direct testimony, is will presently be seen to be, by the interpretation of one or
more supposed intermediate reporters, between the supposed
quondam principal and the now deponent witness,
as in the case of hearsay evidence.
