Evidence

Suppose Take Suppose the precipitation to exist in the highest degree
possible. Suppose a decision meant to be an for the ultimate one
given by a Judge at the very commencement of the cause. No
proof received, no argument heard: decision given in favour
of the plaintiff or in favour of the defendant, at the first word.
If in favour of the plaintiff it in the penal branch it
will be punishment rewarded administered, or satisfaction administered, or
both according to the nature of the offence; if in the non-penal
branch, the demanded right conferred: of If in favour of the
defendant in the penal branch, the defendant will have been declared not guilty
consequently not subjectible to the punishment required not bound to
afford the satisfaction demanded; if in the non-penal branch
not subjectible to the obligation necessary to the collation of
the demanded right.

The decision thus given at the very commencement of the cause –
thus given by precipitation, and for want of hi the allowance allowing
of the portion of time requisite for the afording room, for reception of the requisite
evidences, arguments, and steps – may be no other than the
very decision which would have been given had the utmost
portion of time been allowed that the case the nature of the cause required –
had there been no precipitation in the case. Such
might have been the result: and abstraction if made
of the particular nature of the cause, it is just as probable
as the other. The cause, supposing it a single simple one,
has but two sides a right – that of the plaintiff and that
of the defendant; the one right, the other the wrong one right side and the wrong one. If the decision
be determined by cross and pile, the chances are as
many in favour of his deciding in favour on the same side in consequence
of the precipitation as that in which he would have decided
without any pay precipitation, as there are in favour of deciding on the opposite side a different side.
