Prosecutor
This is the point from which judicial procedure
set out, and from which it ought never to have departed. swerved.
Perfection consists
in reducing every
thing to the surest
model. [standard]
When the law is clear, when the question guilty or not guilty
lies within a narrow compass, and when the decision
is called for applied for [as soon almost as the incident which
called for it has taken place] immediately upon
the commission of the supposed offence, the function
of prosecutor is scarce distinguishable discernible from that
of the witness.] Where the offence is committed
under the eyes of the Judge, the dramatis personae parties necessary
are but not necessarily more than two: the offender and the Judge. [Even
where this is not the case, it may happen that
the necessary parties may be but three: the witness
judge not being hemself a witness, somebody else
must make his appearance in that character: the
dramatis personae consists now but of three, of
which the witness is the third.] Witnesses must be
marshalled where
there are many of a
side
[When the offence
is committed at a distance this circumstance]
Distance begins first, & detaches the function of witness from that of judge.
But there may be more witnesses may have been
present than at the time moment of the discovery can be
brought together: or the discovery may not have
taken place been made till a long time after the offence:
the supposed offender may have facts to alledge in
his defence, the truth of which can not be verified
on the spot. Delay breeds gives for more
delay & incidents
breed delay
Because you
have put it off
too long, you
mut put it off
still longer
Hence delay is often necessary:
