Evidence

So far as matter concerns o fact is concerned whatever is or
can be said by or on behalf of any any litigant, whether
as of his own knowledge, or not of his own knowledge,
is still in its nature a mass or lot of evidence: if as of his
own knowledge the more ordinary kind of evidence immediate
evidence: if not as of his own knowledge, it is still evidence
though belonging to the head of makeshift, any for example
Hearsay evidence.

I am The Plff is a Shopkeeper. The The Defendant he says had
without paying for them goods to the value of twenty days labour out of his shop: it
is for this that he demands payment.
If it was by the Plff alone, no other person knowing any thing about
the matter that the goods were delivered, and so the Plff says in
his allegation says, The evidence thus delivered by the Plff is
immediate evidence: if it were by a servant of the Plff's, the
plaintiff not professing to know any thing about the matter but
from the report of the servant, the evidence given by the Plff
in and by the , whereby he alledges the existence his allegation of this cause of action, the evidence
thus delivered by him is of the nature of makeshift – of Hearsay
evidence.

In this case what he can not say and say with truth is that
he knows the existence of the fact is known to him of his own knowledge: – what
he can say, and mendacity apart can say with truth, is –
that the existence of the fact though not known by him of his
own knowledge is believed. If not believing it, he says that he believes
it, if without oath, he is a liar: if under oath, a perjurer.
