As little will it in England
1. If in and for Scotland it be a decided point, decided without
redemption, that the appearance of shall
be declared where as when and as often as the reality is wanting,
there is an a practice which immoral and
scandalous as it is, I would not hesitate about proposing
or adopting as establishing in quality of the lesser evil. The suffrages
being without falsification, delivered to the proper office, and observations
taken by him on which side the greater number is stands
let him be compelled to report those examinations, notwithstanding
what he knows to the contrary. Thus will perjury
be cured – perjuries in any number from one
to eleven – and falshoods all but one. One there will be One liar-general
the well-trained and well- officer of the Court – a species of Jacob
Moreland – and he will have been paid for it.
No: in Scotland no such will would find acceptance.
In England, falshood in the mouths of Judges is familiar to in constant use
Judges: to us it is would be strange. Even when they practice
falshood it is of their own choosing, of their own making
and for their own use: but the falshood you propose would be
a falshood chosen for us, and forced upon us by the legislature.
It would affect our honour: it would be on affront insult
and it would be an insult such as a legislature like such as
ours never afford to any man: much less to a bench
and the highest bench, of Judges.
