1828. NovR
Petition for Justice 40.

Answer. Of matters of fact, and nothing
else; For nothing else is there of which they
can be composed., On the occasion in question,
these same matters of fact, whatsoever they may
be, will respectively either be considered as already
sufficiently notorious or not: if not,
then will, they the existence of them, for the purpose of this same act
of legislation, as for the purpose of any act of
judicature, be considered as requiring to be
established by evidence. No otherwise than
in as far as thus grounded and warranted can
any earthly law whatever be any thing better than an
act of wanton despotism. Most laudable accordingly
- unmatched in any other country on upon earth,
is the scrutinizing attention and perseverance,
had actually applied so constantly employed by your Honorable House in the
collection of appropriate witnesses, and the elicitation
of their testimony. If their testimony? and in
what shape? in that which is the very best possible:
oral examination, subject to counter interrogation
from all quarters, Re-examination
at any time, and write the maximum of correctness
secured to it by being minuted down
as elicited, and subjected afterwards to comution
by the individual from when it emanated.
Behold here a mode of proceeding, dictated
by a real desire to elicit true and appropriately compleat information:
the desire accompanied with a thorough knowledge of
the most effectual means for the accomplishment of of obtaining it.

well
