Evidence Procedure

Demand
Ch. Demands

(1 §§.1 demand

Book Ch. of the various sorts of judicial Demands or Actions in general

What and Why
two fair questions in
every case from the
Judge to the Suitor

What is it that would you have me do for you? Why is it that I am am I to do it?

Such are the fundamental initial/urgent questions proper competent to be put in every
case by the any Judge to any demandant, immediately on his
presenting himself before the throne seat of justice. The what? and the
why? The answer To the first of these questions the answer gives the service
the nature of the service demanded, at the hands of the Judge; to the
other tother the nature of the title — of the title on the ground of which
the demand is made.

2
No Suitor too stupid
to be incapable of answering
them

What chance, what day-labourer so ignorant, as to be
incapable of giving any sort of answer satisfaction to either of these questions?
Is it possible that the answer should derive any additional satisfactoriness
by passing through the medium lips or the pen of a lawyer or to a
string of lawyers? The complaints of the patient, is it from the
lips of the patient that an honest physician the physician chooses to hear them,
or does he expect to find them conveyed expressed with more precision
from the mouth of the apothecary? or does he think it for the
advantage of the patient that instead of paying a visit to the patient
he should receive a visit from the apothecary?

3
The answer can not
be made unsatisfactory
by passing through the
lips of a lawyer
no more that a patient
through an apothecary.
Hearsay evidence is not
better than immediate
light is not
by passing through
glasses

And is the lawyer to receive his information, but from
the suitor? and since at all wants of any information comes, it is
from the suitor that it must come, why should it not instead
of coming from suitor to the lawyer, and from the lawyer to the Judge, why should it not come from to the
Judge from the suitor in the first instance? Is it that hearsay evidence information
is so much better than shrill. immediate? Is it that quality of light
is so much augmented by any medium through which it passes is filtered?
