History & Aetiology. 33
Parliaments conviction
of the inaptitude of the
regular system proved
by employment given
to the summary

Instructive, and with a view to practice
in the highest degree important, is the certificate
we have on this subject — a certificate given by
Parliament: a certificate, declarative of the utter
inaptitude of the regular course, in all the several so
numerous and diversified ramifications of which the
tyger-stuffed jungle is composed. By Parliament? Yes:
by every Parliament, from the very first, by which an
exemplification of this summary and solely apt course
was given, down to the present. A certificate?
says somebody. Where is it? Answer. Every where.
In what words? Answer. Not in words but in and
by deeds: proofs, so much more conclusive than
it is in the power of words to be.

Objection If it Assertion that where
summary mode not
established by Parliament
it is not the most apt
mode — a fallacy Addendum.

From p. 9. Suppose now that after admitting that
the summary mode is most apt in the cases in which
by Parliament as above it is established an assertion
mode by any body is — that where by Parliament
the summary mode is not established it is not the
most apt mode. On whom, on this supposition
does the onus probandi lie? On the opponent of
the summary mode assuredly. On him it lies — to
show in what ways and by what means in each
several case the chance for right decision
would be diminished, the chance for misdecision
increased, by the substitution of the summary to the
regular mode. Any such means do they exist?
If yes it is in his power to bring them to view. Does
he decline this? by doing so he gives proof that none
such is he able to find; he contradicts his own
assertion if he has said there are.
