In this argument an assumption is included; viz.
that the security against error increases at any rate
up to the number twelve with the number of Judges
of this description employed upon the cause.
The of the proposition thus affirmed the truth
is not clear to me. to my opportunism When responsibility lies plain
the reverse has already been stated as clear + + testate thif. Libr. 1 but here responsibility
is not to have place:to be excluded this being the case
instead of a span filled occupied by reason, a void presents itself
to my view: that by augmentation of the number from three as far as twelve the chances against error may be
increased, diminished, is less as they are, in proportions
that present themselves as standing all of them, upon equal
ground. I see not clearly in what way within this limit the circumstance
of number can exercise any determinate influence: the
Judge being in each case present, to and ready to
give direction to every judgment thinks apply for it fit to accept
it.
