proportion be occupied by the latter class?

I say in the sense most favourable to the idea
for if the whole number of such offences is in truth
no greater, the quantity of vice upon the whole
if the proportion of the latter class be augmented,
must in truth be less. + is in truth diminished If ever by view be meanly

Suborning Evidence x Cutting out Tongues.
I would not say that there was an increase of vice
because witnesses were sometimes silenced by a

of the means of it as for once it was profoundly
ignorant
