Petition for Justice.
1. Case.
IV. Mendacity licensed and compelled.
1.
IV. Mendacity licensed,
rewarded, compelled,
practised.
Root – the distinction
between Pleadings and
Evidence. In Evidence
it could not be licensed.
2.
Apt ground for the distinction
none.
Distinction between
Declaration & evidence
exemplified.
3. Use to Judge
Use to Judge and Co.
great. Any dishonest
man rich enough to
crush his victim, enabled
to bring grist to the
Mill.
4.
If on perjury of an
extraneous witness,
the suit is gained, then
on prosecution comes
the profit of that other
suit.
5.
Licence, remuneration,
compulsion –
how they come all in
one.
6.
For an assertion however
false
If Defendant answered
not the Declaration
by a Plea, the Judge
will take his goods, &
give Plaintiff the proceeds
– Usage shows
this.

6.
For an assertion, however
false, on which
this seizure is grounded,
Plaintiff's Lawyers
know he will not be
punished. This is the
allowance. That profit
is the remuneration to
Attorney: the fear of
the corresponding loss
makes the compulsion
on the Defendant.
7.
Justice aimed at, no
applicant heard, but
on condition of being
punished for mendacity.
8.
Off thus goes the distinction
between
Pleadings & Evidence.
Evidence every thing
said by Applicant.
9.
All demands
thus killed in
embryo.
10.
This indirectly: for
directly applied compulsion,
see jurisdiction-splitting.
11.
Purposes and use
of granting the licence,
this. For mode and
instrument, see V.
Oaths.
