Procedure Code

Ch. IX
(14 §. 10 Testimony how procurable
Reward but where
necessary.
13. Exceptions excepted
compulsion, not remuneration

10
Exception excepted
compulsion not remuneration

Art. For the probative procurement of evidence or information the constituted
authorities will not employ remunerative measure
unless by experience where/in the individual case in question compulsory means have been forced
to be, or in greed and detriment and assigned ground
are expected to be insufficient.

Reasons
1 Reg remuneration a
tendency to produce
false testimony
2 Reliance on it not so strong
as when procured without
remuneration
3 Waste of money
4 Corruptive tendency

Art. Reasons are as follows —

1. Regard for the direct ends of justice. The testimony
to produce the desired and supposed beneficial effect
must to have been adequately probative, must have
been means of procuring at the hands of the Judge a correspondent decision
But by this condition a design of producing false
testimony is produced: testimony adverse to the direct ends of justice.

2. The tendency of evidence so procured to be
thus rendered false and fallacious is open to general observation:
in consequence in consequence at the time evidence when this procurement is liable and apt not to procure
at the hands of the Judge and
others
so full a measure of
evidence as is due to
it: and moreover
when a decision grounded
on it has been pronounced the spurious pursuance of the well groundedness
of the well groundless of it will not be apt not to be
so strong and extensive as it would have been had the
testimony been procured without the use of such means.

3 Regard for the collateral ends of justice — supposing the
evidence otherwise procurable by other means, whatsoever money is
employed in the procurement of it by this means as
after having been levied from the people in taxes, disbursed
in waste

4. by The power for which this purpose it is necessary
to place in the hands of the constituted authorities, have
unavoidably, in relation to them a corruptive tendency
measurable as the greater the quantity be employed by them
in this way, the greater in amount and value, is the power
there in the shape of patronage thus placed in their hands and exercised.
