Reforming Statute

Proof of the importance
of this circumstance
But for this, the Audit
Board would be much
the better judicatory.
Were it not for this circumstance — were it not for this
single but most important circumstance — it would be the
Audit Board, and not the Court of Exchequer, that would
to the present particular purpose at least here in question would be found to possess
the superior claim to conf confidence.
Means For coming at searching out the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, the Audit Board, the work of modern experience one of the productions of modern experience
possesses means instruments from the use of which, the Court of
Exchequer, in common with the other regular Courts its co-ordinates
has been fortunate enough to be suffered to debar
itself.
1. Audit Board examines
Accountants, epistolary
or colloquially ad libitue
Exchequer Judges another
way.
The Members of the Audit Board examines Accountants examines its suitors and others
in the epistolary or the colloquial mode, at pleasure. The
Judges of the Court of Exchequer know not what it is to put a
question to a suitor, or unless by accident to see
his face.
2. On the particular
occasion here in
question, Exchequer
Judges would determine
on no other than Affidavit
evidence: the
most deception possible, below
the oath.
On the occasion in question supposing the an application
of the sort in question made by an Accountant, the
shape of the evidence in which the application would be grounded would
be the self serving evidence be either simply or in combination with evidence/instruments from other sources of the Accountant — and that
at any rate, in the shape of affidavit evidence, and
no other: a shape in which evidence is exempt from all the scrutiny scrutiny of the nature
of cross-examination: a shape thus which, in production of perjury and consequent if deception
had been the object, none more suitable could have been found.
