Evidence
☞ After stating the of the law arising clearly out of facts, and so no Opinion taken.
From the hands of the advising Counsel, after returning through those of the
Attorney, the statement business goes into the hands of a third sort of lawyer, called
a Special Pleader: and from him is bespoke a claim adapted to the what
is called a Declaration – a claim adapted to the facts so stated, and
either explicitly or implicitly containing the allegations requisite to the support
of such claim – allegations by this, though in a general form, the
substance of those facts is reasserted again asserted. At this stage at any rate the
responsibility would be compleatly lost gone, of that which was compleatly gone
already, could be more than gone. With the truth of the statement or
any part of it the Special pleader has no more to do concern, than the ironmonger
who sells a hatchet has with the sobriety of the smelter who
helped to extract the iron from the ore.
