Judicial

mass of delusive appearance circumstances as can seldom presents
but rarely. Where the innocence is manifest
upon the face of the evidence the innocence of the defendant
is clear and manifest to the degree in which
innocence will be is manifest in ninety nine cases out of a
hundred where it is exists there is no room for prejudice to operate
to his disadvantage on the mind of anyone much less will there be any opening room
for a wicked intention of punishing inflicting groundless punishment to accomplish its object.

On the other hand Were the mischief as probable as it appears
it would find itself opposed by two powerful guards to be the contrary it has two powerful guards
to combat it which both of which seem for the present
to have escaped the attention of our legislator all.
These are the right of appeal, and the publicity
of the procedure. Let an appeal perform'd, and
you have immediately that division of Judication diversity of Judges
on the utility in the efficacy of which he lays so great a stress.
The security offered by the right of appeal should naturally be of itself
sufficient to the purpose. Is it to be apprehended
that a man an innocent man finding himself having been wrongfully
convicted through the prejudice or maless of
the Judge should acquiesce in the conviction?

having justice done him in the Court above?
