Evidence

To made make for the reconciliation of these rival ends
the best provision which such provision as the nature of things admitts of, requires
a certain range extent of thought: a qualification of which the demand
is every where, the example nowhere. Of all men possessing
or claiming the character appellation of a man of science, the narrowest in
his views is the man of law. What Bring together Compare on this ground As the mole is to the eagle
so is the man of law to the natural philosopher: if in Bacon
we see an eagle, in Coles we may see a mole.

For the adjustment of these difficulties contrarieties no symptoms of scarce a symptom
of thinking are is anywhere discoverable among lawyers, (such as legislators have every where been hollerds) among or lawyer-led
and lawyer-ridden legislators:on every occasion always the main end
pursued without a thought about the collateral, or the collateral
without a thought about the other main end, about its antagonist.
Particular examples of this will be seen, when under the head of
Exclusion of evidence, we come to speak of the narrow class
and almost unheeded class of cases in which that sort of
arrangement may be disputed by preponderant utility.

But in a system of oversights and negligences deficiencies imperfections
sometimes happen that the mischief effects of one one oversight or one negligence, will
be lessened by that of another corrected by another: accordingly in the article of extent of trial jurisdiction we shall find the
importance of the man of law limiting setting limits to the vexation that might
have been produced by the blind pursuit of the main end
with its attendant propensities, without regard to the withou collateral end. If To
give testimony about the value of a sucking pig or a days food for a
horse a man could not be brought from the antipodes, why
was it? Not because any body cared about the vexation the vexation was ever thought of, but because
the process for the summonsing of the is a man to come and give his
testimony had not been framed so as to originally framed to reach to any such distance.
