Evidence

But The torrent of mendacity has thus far been checked. But
by the degree and mode in which the check has been applied, it affords
a much more less copious indication of the past indifference and negligence and industry of the legislator,
if there were any such person, in the numerous and extensive instances in which
it it has not, any more than any other neither this nor any other has been applied, than in the few
and scanty instances in which it has been applied.

On a general view, all these patches are but so many
partial succedaneum and these most palpably as evil as deplorably
inadequate to the manifest and only adequate effectual remedy – personal appearance
of both the parties, in the face of each other and of the Judge,
at the outset of the cause, in readiness to declare each it has one
instance, and to be made to confess each at the instance of the adversary,
under the sanction of an oath, whatsoever facts are pertinent to the causes
and lie respectively within their knowledge.

This and this alone saving only the few and temporary exceptions
which casual necessity prescribes – this and this alone is
righteous and honest judicature: every thing else other commencement of a cause had professional
extortion for its object, has injustice – direct and collateral – injustice
in all its shapes for its object: direct, but too frequently; collateral
in its triple shape of vexation, expence and delay constantly and
invariably.
