Place and Time
Law and Equity Evidence
They had very early laid it down to themelves
as a maxim that + + wherever there was any thing to be got or to be kept saved by the concealing of a truth, to be obliged to disclose it was a hardship not to be endured [it was a hardship no man too great
to be borne by any man ought to be obliged to subvert t to , to be obliged
to reveal a touch [the consequences of which mybe to the prejudice of his own interest
be] which it be a gainer by concealing .]
If a man was in possession of a sum of money
which he had gained acquired by fraud , they thought
it a less evil to sanctify the fraud , and leave
him in possession , than to put any questions
to him the answer to which might afford
ground for giving it to the right owner: in
taking it from the fraudulent usurper they
saw hardship : in keeping it from the innocent
and the injured they saw none . Questions
which if a man were honest he would be
eager to answer , they could not bear to put
to him , because in the event of his being dishonest,
they might [put a period to his
dishonesty ] disappoint the purposes of his dishonesty .
[A plan simple to absurd for any man ever
to have thought of pursuing in the management
of his own family was thought necessary to the
good management of the great family of the state.]
