Evidence ProcedureCh. Justiciability
5
Points or respects in
which a man may be
punishable — — 1. person
2. property. 3. reputation
4. condition
in life
The decision, to the influence of which a man in as far as
he is justiciable may will be subjected, may afford him in respect
either of his person, his property, his reputation, his condition in
life, or in two or more of those respects at once. It can not affect
him in any other. There is no other respect in which a man
can be affected.

1. & 2.
In respect of reputation
and condition in life
every man is at all
times equally justiciable.
In the two first of these four articles respects lies all the difficulty.
In respect to reputation and condition of life, every man is alike
in the power of a Court of justice at all times. Absent or
present, property or no property, it can at once in equal alike depress or
exact his reputation — it can alike take from him or confirm him
in his actual condition of life or him with another.

3 & 4.
In respect of person
and property, justiciability
depends
upon physical forthcomingness:
The means of securing
which have been considered
elsewhere.
In regard to person and property, less unless the only difficulty:
a difficulty in but too many cases insuperable. His Justiciability
in each of those respects depends upon forthcomingness in each
respect: upon the forthcomingness of his person — upon the forthcomingness
of his property — or of the property in question whosesoever
it be — upon their being or not being respectively actually and
practicably subject to the Court of Justice Judge in question, ready
to be put into such state as in such his character he shall
appoint.
As to forthcomingness, the means of securing it, with relation
to both classes of objects — persons and things — have already
been brought to view on the subject of evidence, they being respectively
considered in the character of sources of evidence.
