Ch. XI. Judiciary Collectively
§. Procedure First Lines

35.
3. Remains, the most
important transference;
do. of the largest portion
possible, of the operations
now performed by the party's
paid Assistants to the
Judge & other judicial
functionaries.

36.
With or without the
intervention of other
minds or mind, to
Judge's mind must
have been presented
all objects, by contemplation
of which, his
decrees have been determined.

37.
See now the effects
when an intervention
of this sort has place.
Good in no shape:
Evil in many.
Evil, the Assistant gratuitous:
much more
when mercenary.

38.
Take first the case
where the evidence is
all personal orally delivered
to the Judge:
then substitute or add
ready written & real
evidence.

39.
1. Substitute gratuitous.
Evil 1. Time consumed
encreased; at least doubled:
party states to substitute,
substitute to
Judge. This inseparable
Supposed here, to the
principal the facts
best or exclusively
known: this being the

the ordinary case. In
so far as the reverse
is true, these evils
have no place.

40
Evil 2. Misrepresentation
of facts by passing
through a medium;
danger of deception &
misdecision accordant
of this evil, infinite the
diversity: endless wd be
the delineation.

41.
Evil 3. Substitute's incapacity
of securing attendance
& narration. On
the desired witness, no
obligation to afford evidence
to any person
but Judge.

42.
Evil 4. Probable incompleatness
& undue partiality
of the mass of
evidence. Obligation
none, favor a probable
cause of all evidence
thus furnished vexation
& expence of attendance
considered.

43.
True party has no
more power than
Substitute to secure
or discover reluctant
evidence.

But for obtaining from
Judge such evidence
as the case affords,
better is his chance
than that of any one
by whom the nature of
it come sat second hand,
subject to principal's
omissions or misrepresentation,
unintentional

43 contin'd
or intentional in principal,
and misconception
or non recollection
in Substitute,
as above.

44.
For ulterior evils
incident to this case,
see the case where the
Assistant is mercenary:
it being in that
case they receive their
great encrease.

45.
II. Substitute Mercenary —
Infinite now the augmentations.
Engaged by sympathy
to endure the vexation
is the Substitute:
interest none but accordant
with principals.

45.
Opposite, the mercenary's.
1. As to collateral end
of justice: gaining in
proportion to delay,
vexation & expence.
2. As to direct do. the
tendency of misdecision
being to produce
Appeal or another
suit.

47.
True, obvious the check
by regard to reputation,
whereon quantity of
business may be supposed
dependant.
But the closer the view,
the better will be seen
the inadequacy of this
check tho clearer, after
the fence of sinister
interest, has been
displayed as below.
