23 April 1805
Evidence

So again as between the main end the positive main pro end,
and the negative main end corresponding and opposite to it.
Take the measures requisite for fulfilling the charge of
the person placed in the character of defendant, take the measures
requisite for fulfilling the measures requisite for fulfilling giving effect to the
the the arrangements taken and fulfilling predictions delivered in that behalf by the substantive branch
of the law, you run the risk of imposing the obligations throwing the burthens
respectively
in question upon a person in whose instance they are
under: of inflicting punishment on a person defendant innocent of the
imputed offence: of exacting imposing on a person the burthen of
rendering satisfaction for an injury in the infliction of which
he has had no share, of imposing, on some person in the character of defendant, in consequence of the
right conferred on the demandant or plaintiff, an obligation which when thus in his
imposed upon him, instance is undue. Determine at all events to preserve
men altogether from all risk possibility duress of being unduly subjected to those
disastrous obligations. There is one means by which you may
succeed to a certainty, and there is but that one way in
which you can succeed, and that require which is the course already
pointed out in the former case, the putting an end to all
recourse to justice. The Human species as before is either
destroyed or ruined: but at any rate the innocent are
preserved from all danger of legal punishment, and mankind
though left a prey to injustice from every other source, is preserved
from all that injustice which has for its source the
execution execution of the law.
