Indirect

Prosecutor

delay gives room for incidents which breed fresh
delay. A chain of operations must be carried on:
which chain to prevent that there may be no confusion or nor neglect, there
must be some one person to conduct. Hence
another function that of prosecution takes its rise:
with this difference in such sort however which prosecutor may either
be one of the witnesses or any other person
who from by the manner in
which he is affected
by the offence
[the nature of things] natural situation or from express positive
appointment may conceive himself is in a situation to have an interest
in the bringing the subjecting bringing the offender
to the decision examination under the censure of the law. Meantime the text
of the law being patched together made up of patches stuck one upon another at different
times and always without a plan, has become
ambiguous or obscure: , or what is worse there
is no text of the law in the case, nor any thing but an expected determination
of the Judge which is to be fished for
and guessed at by going about and enquiring
how the business was managed by former Judges
in cases which seem to come the nearest to
that in question. agitation. The function of the Judge by
accident or design has been split into divers functions
to be carried on performed at different times by different
sorts of persons: the Judge who receives the evidence
while it is fresh is not permitted to decide upon
it, be it ever so clear, but to must send it off to another
Judge
