Decr 1806
As to the drift of this Resolution, so far as I can hope
to reach it by conjectures, what it turns at expresses, or rather
the it hints at, is by way of a preface to English
Juries, the introduction of English Pleading. If so, I fear
or rather I hope, it stands conducive to remain for some time
longer in the of infant and abortive projects.
Were not this the aim, to what end (which however to
a certainty it could not have been in the original enactment
in 1787) to what end such to force a defendant into
a distinct admittance or denial of the plaintiffs alledged facts.
Whatever is not denied may it not safely be taken pro confesso?
Is not this the conclusion drawn naturally and of course?
does it require an express regulation to authorize and require
the drawing of it?
