mens character frame of mind and making their reception of the land
a condition to their being put into possession of the highest
trusts have been demonstrated it is hoped to in

not as whether such breach of veracity be an apposite
qualification for the possession of those several situations, but
whether there be any consistency in the excluding a in the testimony
of a man on account of his having been induced
to give it by the reward of a few pounds or a few shillings
which the testimony of a man who for the uttering an affection a to a certain
effect have received as many thousands of pounds a year as the other
has received pounds or shillings once paid is admitted: admitted
even without suspicion, with less under less no probability
of suspicion than are understood to be at large
in an individual who had received no such lure.
