Evidence

Ch. Pursuit Continuation of the natural plan track of enquiry through
the field region of subsequent incidents.

The leading feature of the plan once thus adjusted, what
follows is little more than matter of course.

Insufferability viz. of parties, forthcomingness (viz. of parties and witnesses), debate, adjudication, decision, judication (viz extraction of testimony and other evidence), execution
– in these five six words aremay be comprized the whole
business of judicial procedure.

Note 9(a) Note to p.3

But reward (it may be asked) in every branch of administration
– is not a rule that reward attached to service, in the
view of service, should ought in its quantum moreover in proportion to service keep pace with service?
Is not this a rule and a rule of universal verity in the remunerative branch of legislation?
the science or art of government?

Doubtless: and where the idea to be attached to service is
made clear, it will be found to attach apply to this branch department of public service
than to any other. But in this case it is so far as the it the question to be
attended to is what is the object properly designated by the word service: Now the service here in question the
service which it is the duty
of the Judge to render, is no
other than the fulfilment that
of fulfilling on each occasion
the mere ends of justice.
But so far as the
ulterior ends of justice are concerned, the value and quantum
of the service is not susceptible of majors and minors: and so far
as the collateral incidental ends, avoidance non-production of vexation, expence and delay
are concerned, the magnitude and value of the service is not in the direct,
but in the indirect ratio of the length and number of the operations performed by
on the occasion of each suit by or under the direction of the Judge,
supposing the direct and collateral ultimate ends of justice to be fulfilled.

Karamein, the distinguished Russian Traveller, gives a account exemplification of the art
of making business as practised by porters as the English, he might have added, the French
Sea Porters, on the arrival of a packet-boat cargo of passengers. One takes possession of loads himself with a
man's hat-box, another of with his cane, a third with his handkerchief if it happens to
fall into his hand. They could not have been greater proficients in this art, had they
studied it for years under a ci-devant French or English set of Judges.
