Long and Forgery
12 May 1802
In attributing to the omission in question the two
such appellatives at once are
double appellative of fraud and forgery, the noble Lord
unquestionably looked upon it considered it as being as wilful (to
use the common word) as clearly accompanied with
culpable consciousness (to use a term which though to me
appears more apt/unambiguous proper and expressive) as the omission
consisting of in the discarding
of so many important documents as were discarded at different times by assortment out of the
laid by Mr Long out of the assortment exhibited by him in my case—sometime before in some instances to the
Board, in others to the subordinate authorities.
In so grave and weighty a speech it is+ that Your
Lordship beholds them.
But if in a grave speech two such appellatives
fraud and forgery applied
have presented themselves as applicable with propriety
to an omission of the kind in question in observed in the pamphlet
republication of a pamphlet
entertaining nothing but a mere set of opinions, and
opinions of a private man.—With how much
more indisputable propriety then must they appear applicable
to an omission a like omission made out of a cause the body
of evidence belonging to a cause, in of which the most
inconsiderable and a comparatively portion of the subject matter point
at stake, was a mass of individual property to the amount of
so many thousand points, to be decided upon by
that Board—accumulating in this instance the functions
of Judge and Jury—executing exercising without appeal the united powers of
Judge and Jury, though unfortunately for the suitor,
according to a mode of proceeding an idea so repugnant to the spirit
as well as to the formalities of justice?
