CERTAINTY EVIDENCE Oral — Division of Confessional is but Circumstantial.

oral Evidence is comes either 1st of the [Party] accused himself
or From a Stranger another i:e: a witness or 3dly from mixed both together
In the first case it is called Confession:
meaning coram juidice. By the 3d I mean
confession when extrajudicial — It originated
from the party, it is communicated by the
stranger, whom such a communication denominates
a Witness. The one is immediate the other derivative It is therefore in fact included
under the 2d.

Saunders commenting on the words in the Conventicle Act,+ +The one is original, the other hearsay evidence, but of the only kind that the Ch. Justice & reporter ought to be admitted where when the original arbitor can be come at. p. 27.
says "Upon proof to him or them respectively made
of such offence either by confession of the Party or &c"
says This confession must be Judicial before the
Justice himself at the time of the conviction, & not a
confession at another time, or before other persons; for
such confession, though sworn before the Justices by
sufficient Witnesses is only one evidence or circumstance ill expressed
of the fact, but not a ground to convict the offender
ipso facto, as a confession before the Justice himself is.
