Evidence
13. It is by this means and this alone that the defendant may
be secured against remediless vexation from vexation inflicted without remedy by the mention of a malâ
fide plaintiff. A man who can no avoid being forthcoming
in his own person, ready to abide whatever in case of male practice
may be his doom, can having have nothing to gain or to hope
from the subjecting of his adversary to the same inconvenience at
the same time.
Under English law a man wrongdoer whose intention it is for this
or any other purpose to leave the country, may be swearing upon
his adversary, with or without plausible ground a debt beyond what he can find bail for, consigns
him to prison, and without danger to himself, for years or for life:
or he may leave him loaded with half costs of defence one side not without possibility
of relief.
