1824. Decr. 4
Procedure Code

Ch. application
3 §. English practice

If a man owes you money, the nay the Lord Chancellor Lord Eldon
will do what the Lord Chief Justice Abbot will not do, he will
let you ask the man whether he does not owe you the
money, and whether of the facts by which the def debt was
produced the statement you make is not true. Think not
however that on pro mercy or indulgence thus so extraordinary is to
be obtained without. Before you can be admitted to at first,
and that only by proxy, into in the Temple of Equity. Your honour,
at any rate that whatsoever part of it consists in absence
from lying — detailed and elaborate lying, must be
left at on the threshold. A If a matter of fact of the of concerning which
you're in ignorance, is the exhibition statement of it be necessary to the
establishment of your right to being to —
Equity to call for information at your debtor's hand,
how would you go about it? Would not you ask him at
once how the matter stands? No such thing will you do
if on this occasion your lawyers know their business: for you w in the way
you might ask long enough before you would get any body would give you an answer,
No: you must come out first with a string of his first: and
no otherwise than on that condition ask only will your debtor receive
orders to give confess the truth [furnish the information and acknowledgment] which
you have need of is at hand. The very thing which you
do not know and which to the cheater of Equity knows it is known that
you do no know, by his instrument the Master in Chancery
he forces you to declare solemnly that you do know
stating it in all its detail the particulars of it in detail,
your lawyer, the Attorney called a Solicitor and the Barrister draughtsman
casually plan imagination and weaving a tissue of falshood
for the purpose. This falshood has its Equity name
and is called the charge: and the maxim is — every interrogatory
must have for its support a correspondent charge.
