23 Mar. 1805
Evidence

To violate the rule and alteram partem – to refuse a
hearing to either side, is commonly mentioned in a proverbial way
among men in general, but more especially among men of law
as the ultimate point of iniquity: – and not merely of the iniquity, but of that sort of iniquity, of
which in the established systems an example is hardly to be
found. Of this partial and incompleat inconsummate iniquity examples are indeed but rare not frequent.
But if the like iniquity doubled, doubled by being repeated upon
both parties, that in the established systems so far are the examples from being rare, that
the rarity rare case is the finding here and there any exception to the rule. To refuse
a hearing to either party from first to last, by proxy as well to his professional
agents as well as himself
as in person is a sort of iniquity never practiced by men the man of
law. Why? because nothing would be to be got, on the contrary
a portion, about a moiety of the profit would be lost by it. But the
double of this iniquity, the refusing refusal to hear so much as the
agent of the party till the last stage, are coupled with the refusal
is bu too extensively in practice> – Why? because there is everything so much
to be got by it: because in comparison of what is actually
got by means of it what would be to be got without it is
as nothing little worth.
