Raising Evidence
The threats of religi political punishment being
impotent, and threats of religious punishment
being inapplicable, [government] in England has there
is nothing left for it but reward. Oftentimes it costs
five hundred or a thousand pounds to get what
in France is got by monitoires at the expence of
a sheet or two of paper. While in France government
is adjuring in the name of heaven, in
Engling it is offering giving bribes; or perhaps offering them
without effect.
Here At this pass the law finds itself opposed by this encountered by a terrible formidable dilemma:
offer money and you run the risk of getting false.
Lawyers unable to solve this gordian knot have
cut it with a quibble: in what manner we hither
will be mentioned presently. Here we may see
what it is to have neither plan nor principle:
common law fighting against undoing the work of Statute law: one statutes one statute
fighting against each other another statute: and the same statute
frustrating its own purposes: the law drawing in
mercenary witnesses with one hand, and spurning
them with the other. "she would and she would not"
may be applied said in this ca as on so many other occas-
-sions
