Under existing system
charge of ferreting out
evidence committed
to Attorney
Turn now to the existing system Abandoned by the Judge whose pow appropriate powers
are ample adequate the task charge of ferreting out evidence is as if
studiously, committed to the party's Attorney who has cause
Now, that is to say for securing either the discovery of evidence, is the
veracity of any which is delivered. But, for inflicting in person
in number unlimited vexation to an amount unlimited, in pretence
of the exaction extraction of evidence, persons alike

The Law, therefore comes in the trial; and the result is already
viable. the testimony given out of court it is all false: but
being given out of court given without oath, punishment attached
upon it there is none: the testimony is true: and being
upon oath is believed to be so: but being either
favourable to the party, or what comes to the same thing not
not sufficiently favourable,
obtains produces though true
all the effect that could
be wished from false.
