Evidence
A very little reflection will suffice to shew, that these Reconciliation
Offices are nothing more than the natural system of procedure
as above described there revived, and employed upon a very extensive scale,
of unprecedented extent, though but clogged with very considerable
disadvantages.
That with under those disadvantages its success should have been
thus so brilliant, is a proof beyond expectation conclusive, of
the practicability and efficacy of the system where it in genuine
form, not weakened by an of those cramps and filters.
Of the necessity of a motive, adequate in all cases, as far
as it is of the nature of human motives to be adequate, to the
production insurance of veracity, a full display will be made in
its proper place. By the removal of this security which was
there to be gained? But so powerful it such seems such was the security
afforded by simple when in the form of present shame,
even in a select small closed circle, as to render it possible
in the greater part number of instances to discard every those stronger
securities which hitherto had been regarded as indispensable.
Of the importance of publicity in the general mass of suits
of the utility and safety of non-publicity in a pretty considerable
variety of exceptions, full notice will also be taken in
its place. In the present instance though first as to the forebear
promiscuous body of chance-causes, the Court of itself constituted
a body considerable in respectability and not altogether inconsiderable
in numbers, with reference to when the proceedings
could not be secret.
