Evidence
But Of this sort are the modifications really necessitated
by the enlargement given to the scale. But by this circumstance
does it in any degree necessitate or so much as extenuate the
introduction of those factitious evils of which so many samples
from above been brought to view. Is it necessary That decisions should be
arguments should be invited called for and decisions provided on points avowedly
foreign to the merits? that a fact once fully proved should be proved
over again by the same evidence?
– that commands should be kept secret that men may be plundered
for disobedience? that it should be Titius that is punished for the
fault or misfortune of Sinpronius.
That the Judge should refuse to set eyes hear a word from either suitor, till both
have run the gauntlet for his through a tune of licensed plunderers?
No, no, indeed: – all this mixture mass compound of absurdity and wickedness imposture is no
more conducive to the purposes of justice in a state, than it would
be on a family; in those mansions into which neither the wickedness
nor the folly of man has ever yet and entertained a thought of forcing
it. No: no arsenick and laurel-water are no fitter for the
victualling of an army or of a fleet, than they would be of a villain or than of a cottage.
