Evidence
In of Non-observance of formalities being thus spoken of, in
the character of a circumstance taken as evidentiary
of unfairness on the part of a contract, or spuriousness
on the part of an instrument purporting to be an continue exhibit
of the expression of a contract, the entertained
are continual error would be apt to be the result,
if, for the prevention of it, apt warning – distinct and timely warming – were not
given for the prevention of it afforded.
What is here meant is – that, where, for on the alledged
ground of non-observance of this or that formality, the
instrument has been pronounced (as the language is)
null and void, the it instrument service judicial service being refused, the rendering
of which is, on the part of the Judge, necessary to the giving
to the instrument the legal effect which it is seen to aim at,
be it the effect it is the samenames as being refused, an opinion,
after may the ascribing either unfairness to the contract, or spuriousness
to the instrument, was either the reason or the pretence; –
was either professed and entertained accordingly, or, if
not entertained actually entertained, at least, upon occasion,
professed without being to be entertained. But that, in every
instance on which such opinion and thus has been thus professed, implied,
at least professed, it was has been really entertained, is more than
will be found capable of being with sincerity afforded
on this the possible is itself an opinion,
the assertion of which, if sincere, will not be found
consistent with the plainest common sense: inasmuch
as in such an opinion would in many instances be included, the belief of a
self contradictory proposition – such as that one and the same contract
were throughout fair and unfair one and the same instrument throughout genuine and spurious.(a)
