Ch. IX
16 §. Testimony how procurable
14. Compulsion not remuneration
Exception
Indemnity can not but in many cases
be given. Care should thus be taken that
it operates . It is pro
whichever side the evidence favours
Art. Of the cases in which the employment
of remunerative means for the production of testimony is most
apt to be needful, examples are the following
13
No action producible
without impelling motives
counterballancing restraining
motives
Art. No action without a motive or mass of motives adequate
to the production of it now having place the consequence is —
that unless not only the force of all restraining motives
is counterbalanced, but impelling adequate motives be supersedded,
no motive to the effect in question can have taken place
14
Cases where need of
such motives
Art. Of the cases in which such need of countervailing
[and counterbalances] and impelling motives is most
apt to have place examples are as follows
1 Suit simply requisitive
1. Case I Suit simply requisitive and not inculpative.
This is the case in which such need is least apt to
have place. But even here, the delivery of testimony can
not be [performed without vexation and expense or the
of expense to an amount more or less considerable:
and to the delivery of it vexation and expense on the part
of the pr pursuant and proposed witness may to an indefinite
amount may, in some cases, be necessary.
15
Though eviden compulsion
employable yet the
evidence may not be
elicitable without
remuneration
Now that also it is known sufficiently apparent that in virtue of
the perception raised by him, the individual in question has it in
his power to deliver evidence, cr means of the compulsory
kind will in general be adequate to the procurement of it.
But such means may be possessed by individuals in any
number without them being known or suspected to possess it:
and so far as this is the case, unless where love of justice an adequate amount
or sympathy for the indidu individual , no means of
the remuneratory kind for the production of the disclosure will be indefensable
