Reasons against Vouchers

The tendency here in question is that a tendency to act
in conformity to a supposed rule, putting an exclusion upon all
documents not other than what, as above are contemporary with the transaction of which they speak.

Supposing any such rule to be established and
acted upon, the extent and enormity of the injustice produced would
produced by it would be such, that a slight hint of it may here be sufficient.
It's The effect of it would be a law of forfeiture,
inflicting on all accountants that enormous penalty the grievous penalty so termed
and this on each occasion, all such to the amount of disbursements to which in respect
of which they should it shall have happened to them to omitt to cause to be brought into existence at the very time of the transactions

With all the force and all the inequity of an
ex parte facto line, it strikes upon the several
persons, howsoever numerous whose destiny it is, for want of the requisite
communication, to fall victim to it, victims subjected struck
by the inevitable forfeiture which it involves.
