"Discretion in a Judge is the law of
"tyrants; in the best it is always unknown
"it is different in different men: it is
"casual and depends upon constitution
"temper and passion. In the best it is oftentimes
"Caprice, in the worst, it is every
"vice folly and passion to which human
"nature is liable.

Such are the words published as the
words of the late Earl Cambden as contained
in an opinion delivered by him
At 1765 in his then character of Lord
Chief Justice of the Common Pleas on the
occasion of a question excluding the
evidence of a witness on the ground
of interest.

To those who when preserved from
the deceptitious influence of this or that
fallacy, are preserved from it not by
rational and relevant considerations, but
by the influence of some fallacy acting
on the other side this would naturally
enough be received in the character of
a most impressive and triumphant argument
