Evidence Introd.

4. Special Rewards not payable but upon conviction of the
supposed offender, are in the individual cases frequently
offered to persons publickly by the Crown to any person who
in such or such a way in a way thereby prescribed shall contribute to bring
such offender to justice: and where a candidate for
such reward presents himself in the character of a
witness, giving evidence against such defendant, the
interest he has thus given himself in the reward is not
received as a ground for the execution of his testimony.
Instances have every now and then occurred
where the reward thus offered has risen so high as
£1000. £500 of course more common: £100 not
uncommon. An instance has scarcely incurred, in
which a reward the species and degree of interest thus created
has been so much as suspected of having given rise to false
evidence on that side.

Of the operations capable included of being included in the conduct
of a cause no the enumeration or classification can here be given. In regard
those such of them the necessity of which arises out of the nature of the
case it the task might not be altogether an impossible impracticable one. But of those
which are liable to be rendered necessary by positive institution
the country is plainly infinite. The distinction between what
is natural and what is factitious among the acts of purdence
will not be forgotten pass unnoticed† † See Ch. Ulterior Remote Ends
§. 6 Expence
☞ Quere whether to insert
here the causes of vexation
the causes of expence, there
detached? but this is not the proper place for it.
