Review of Humphreys.
Conclusion
Idea of J. B. Procedure
(2)

Where the only legitimate ends are aimed at,
necessary operations reducible to three: probation,
(disprobations included) executions, and communications
for both purposes. Means employable, operations
and written instruments of procedure

Whatever be the effect given to them, right conferring inculpative or criminative, facts in question, the course best
calculated to the attainment of a right judgment in relation
to them is the same. Examination of parties in
the first instance — examination performed viva voce by the
deciding Judge, the only rule defensible in the character of a
general rule: admissions given to assistants or proxies,
gratuitous or professional, examination epistolary instead of oral defensible only on the ground
of necessity, not as matter of choice — Trains of lawyers
interposed in all cases between the deciding Judge
on one hand, and parties and witnesses on the other,
are the work of mere Lawyer craft, having for its end
Lawyer's profit, and for its means deceptions by suppression
of truth, and substitution of falsity in all its
shapes. No Father of a family was ever yet absurd enough
no committee of either House absurd enough or profligate
enough to interpret trains of Lawyers between themselves
and the persons, of from whose evidence it was their
object to ascertain the facts on which their judgment
and operations were to be grounded. To no Committee
of either House is any such absurd arrangement
employed as the interposing between itself its own
operations, those of another Judicatory, by which no inquiry
into facts is made, nothing done, but the extraction
of fees — By no father of a family, by no Committee
of either House, is a year and a half allowed
before an answer is extracted from the individual
from whose declaration a judgment in relation to the
facts in question is to be deduced. By
