Evidence

If now we turn Turning now to the groupe of established systems established systems of judicial procedure, a prospect of a
very different appearance complection will rise to view: not deviations, not
limited to two in number, and neither recurred to without sufficient amply manifest v as well as and necessary cause, both deviations neither deviation less reconcilable
than the very straightest course, to the aggregate of the
ends of justice, deviations not this few not thus necessary – but
infinite in number, infinite in complication and agreeing in nothing but their
opposition to every one of the ends of justice.

To distinguish from what is regarded as conformable to nature to the course of
to natural conceptions what is regarded as unconformable to it that standard,
the word technical is in established use. Techne is in the
original Greek the word for contrivance, art, contrivance, and, if the art be regarded
as directed to an improper end, artifice. In natural history, a
technical arrangement is the classification as opposed to a natural one, is its
the work
under the pressure of over-ruling necessary, the work of honest human weakness, con
striving to lift up the veil of mystery spread by nature over her mysterious difficulty spread over the works of nature
to cover her designs
works. In jurisprudence more particularly in English jurisprudence every arrangement to which the
word technical has ever been applied will be found to be the
work of either directly originally of dishonest artifice, labouring
in a darkness of its own creation in pursuit of its own sinister ends, repugnant set up in opposition to the
only legitimate ends of judicature, the ends of justice. The
deviation, palpable as it is, from the ends dictates of justice, as pointed out written in
the plainest characters
by the hand of nature, will of itself, be such a degree as it
palpable, be but too conclusive evidence of the establishment setting up of a sinister
end, in which the prospect pursuit of the general plan of those deviations had its rise.
This sinister will be found to be throughout the same end is profit, in all its various shapes, money, consideration,
power, but above all money to the contrivers and constructors of the system, in
all their various capacities.
