28 July 1808 A + 4
Reasons against Vouchers
4
Be the above definitions respectively more or less correct,
viz. with reference to the purpose here in question
(for no such document as an Invoice happens at present
to be accessible to me ) which copies of the <add> individual Invoices in </add>
question, viz. that which in this occasion if this Account were sent in to the Board not having been preserved) what is certain is
that in neither instance does the document possess,
for or in respect of the correctness or completeness of the statements
contained in and expressed by it, either of the securities
respectively afforded by the sanction of an oath
(including the eventual punishment in case of wilful
falsehood attached to it) or the scrutiny performed
by the process of called cross-examination.
In respect relation to both these species of Vouchers, two
tendencies, both of them, it is conceived adverse to the
ends of justice, appear in the occasion in question, to
have been manifested.
One is the tendency through production for the ready evidence in the ready written form called a Voucher a tendency
written species of
to crude form, and this subject to a virtual exclusion
evidence, though from the same source, on that those inferior Receipts
in which alone, what is regarded as evidence, is ever
received in an ordinary Court of Justice: viz. 1 testimony
obtained either in the oral or the epistolary mode
and at any rate under upon oath, and with subject to cross-examination:
2. affidavit evidence, which though not
subject to cross examination, has for its security against wilful
falsehood the sanction of an oath.
