Such order to end at number to reject
to the fore it
Supposing In this instance, as well as in the preceding ones, supposing the wish and design of Mr Chief Inspector
to have been to keep the Accountant plunged in a
a sink of irremediable perplexity and thus without danger, to in respect of
imputation of misconduct, to himself, no inequable
course, it is humbly conceived, could have been
better adapted to that end than the course thus actually pursued by him.
to that end [ Whether, if obliged to explain himself
Mr Chief Inspector would or would not put or demand an exclusion
upon . In the fresh acknowledgments, meaning those, in
lieu of the receipts called for, obtainable and obtained
from the parties weekly-paid journeymen, designated by
him (as supposed) in and by the name of "the parties" —
and in this other evidence which he saw tendered viz.
the testimony of the two managing men by whom these the
payments in those several instances were made - may be
seen two species of evidence, of which the Accountant
finds himself under an <add> utter inability of satisfying himself, whether</add> unable to prove whether, if obliged
Mr Chief Inspector, if obliged to explain himself, Mr Chief Inspector would or
would not take upon himself to them respectively inadmissible,
or insufficient: and in by this inability may
be seen one of the causes of the perplexity under which
the Accountant labours. But as the matter stands
he Mr Chief Inspector has not in either instance pronounced any direct
declaration - either of inadmissibility or of insufficiency,
and therefore there thus supressing these declarations in his own eyes [+][+] ( as in the eyes of the Accountant they certainly are)
unjustifiable, and in that consideration not fit to be
hazarded, not nor of being hazarded, without risk
of unsure himself he has not made abstained from making any such declarations
and thereby has avoided the himself exposing himself to censure.
