The conclusion and result is that in the in any such
question as what in such <add>this or that</add> or such a case ought the law to be in the character of authority, standing in the place of
specific direct and relevant arguments such as
a question of this descriptive can move facts to
furnish, the opinion delivered as the opinion of
this or that lawyer if even if the sincerity
of it and authoritively were established, which it scarce ever can
be, in favour of which ever side it tends can more be written any, be reasonably instilled
to any the smallest notion.

None whatever could reasonably be bestowed upon it, if
their own rules of the rules they themselves
pref picked to be governed by the matters of this sort
were fit to be observed. Opinion referred to in constituting used as with
authority in the question would a law to such or
such an effect be upon the whole a beneficial one? instead of
enquiring out the probable good and ill effects to
be looked for in the event of its establishment , is circumstantial
the evidence substituted to direct evidence:
circumstantial evidence always of the
kind substituted to whatsoever direct and
specific evidence the particular it happens to nature of the case
happens to afford.

The lawyer whose authority is in a question
of this sort regarded as decisive is a witness whose
opinion sprouting in the character of opinion of in favour delivered in favour of a proposed law is
considered as conclusive evidence of the goodness of the proposed
Law, if in disfavour condemnation of it as conclusive evidence
of the badness of the proposed law.
