1 As in inferior procedure,
so in this
lengthiness, irrelevancy
under examination
is tantamount to
silence, and silence
to confession.

2. As in the inferior times of judicial procedure, so in
this highest time, irrelevancy or relative silence, vi
as in the examination of a person an individual suspected of theft,
so in the examination of a public man ruler suspected of misrule,
irrelevancy is relative silence: and when understood
to be what it is — like silence, or a pleading of the 5<hi rend="superscript">th clause</hi>,
it is tantamount to confession.

Irrelevancy is therefore
proof presumptive
of badness in the cause

2. Irrelevancy is therefore in the first place presumptive
evidence of a bad cause.

2 — and in the defender,
dis of —
1. Consciousness of
its badness
2. Unconsciousness of
the irrelevancy and
impropriety of the
argument he is
employing, thence
m weakness on his part
3. expectation of its
operating, irrelevant
as it is upon those
to whom it is addressed:
of which expectation
if accompanied
with consciousness
of the irrelevancy
contempt for them
is a necessary accompaniment.

3. In the next place it is evidence on the part of him by
whom they are employed it is evidence of one of three
things viz.
1. Consciousness of the badness of that bad cause: —
2. Unconsciousness of the irrelevance and impropriety
of the improper argument he is making use of: —
3. In addition to that consciousness or that unconsciousness expectation of its long
operation with effect on the that this improper argument
will be operative operate with effect on the minds of the persons to which it is
addressed to which it is expected to present itself:
of in which expectation, if unaccompanied with a consciousness of
the such impropriety on the part of the argument, a sentiment
of contempt as towards the persons of whom it is expected
that they will be swayed by it, is an inseparable concomitant accompaniment consequence.
