Raising Evidence
I have heard the institution of monitoires where the purpose
of a cause has required it spoken of with great abhorrence;
to which indeed at the hands of prejudice
it has a double title, being French and Popish:
[but the fact the plain truth is], it is the purest instrument of all instruments that
[can possibly be made use of thus applied:] government can employ.
In offering rewards for evidence there is certainly some
danger, [though a necessary one.] [though a danger
which must be introduced submitted to , or government society could not be
carried on: kept together. [persons may come in and depose concerning depositions may be given in
against persons entirely innocent: or real
facts may be stretched to fit them to the exigence of
the case.] because there may be something to be got
by falsehood: but where the business is done by monitoires, there is not so
much as a shadow of such danger: for what
could any man imagine God would give him for
speaking false.
(a) I except am aware of the cases where fanaticism and religious
antipathy are concerned: as in the cases of Calas
and La Barre. But the remedy is here not in these cases a magistrate
of common discretion will be upon his guard: besides the and the
the same mischief would in these cases be done by spontaneous
zeal without any invitation: Nor is it common even here
