But this practice
pregnant with insincerity
consequently
judicial falsehood
with all its evils
& without good

A practice of this sort is pregnant with
insincerity. Now a the jury, having declared
themselves of opinion that the party in question
was in the wrong, it follows not by any
means that he has been so, in any degree
whatsoever, for, supposed that an accident
so common to have happened, as this, to wit
that a witness, by whom his unimpeachableness
would have been proved beyond doubt
cannot be found, or keeps out of the way,
or dies, or is taken ill, etc. etc; or suppose
that the same accidents in the case of the
possessor of a source of written or real evidence
or in the case on the part instance of the source of evidence
itself, in any of these cases, defendant
is really not in the wrong. But supposing
him ever so really in the wrong, it follows
not that he himself will be persuaded
of his being so. What is certain is, that
punishment is not proof; and that if, before,
the announcement of the punishments, he was
not persuaded of his having been in the
wrong, the effect of the punishment will be
rather by its irritating property to improbablize,
than to probablize his becoming so. The

Here then is a course of insincerity, proposed
to the individual, proposed with a premium
annexed to it and proposed by the judge.
Here is a deceptious practice, suborned; here is
falsehood suborned; here is judicial falsehood suborned and
the suborner is the judge.
