Evidence II
Credib
The interest created
by a wager is more
than double that
created by hire
to the same amount
2.
Interest may be 1
natural or 2 artificial,
as in case
of hire and wagers
Hearsay
3
Hearsay evidence
may be weakned
by the paucity of
witnesses at each
step indefinitely:
but can not be
strengthen'd up to
first-hand evidence.
Credib.
4
Cautions against
latent interest.
5
Passion for the
marvellous - generated
by pleasure
of curiosity.
6
Variety of story-telling —
pleasure
of self-recommendation.
7.
Persisting seriously
in a story first
told negligently.
Fear of reputation
of mendacity .. natural
sanction.
---page break---
Credib.
8.
Analogy not ill understood
by the
common run of
men
9.
Therefore they have
no ground for [examining
scrutinizing strictly into
the connection between]
the circumstances
of a fact
at first sight extra-ordinary
Instance Electrical
gold leaf which
may have seemed
as thick as a pane
of glass
Facts
10
Knowledge respects
1. actuality. 2.
causality. Instance
Vespasian's cure
Credib.
11
Observation may
be imperfect for
want of comprising
all the circumstances.
Inst. Elect. Gold-leaf.
12
Testimony Observations as applied
to causality
amounts only
to belief opinion.
Vestigial evidence )( testimonial.
---page break---

respecting causality is grounded
on analogy.
14
In cases of intrinsic
improbability
call in men
of science. Nat.
Philosophers, Physicians —
even
Jugglers.
15.
Instance Physicians —
whether
a man can live
so long under water
or without sustenance.
or a woman so long between
conception
& delivery.
16
Horse-jockies —
instance flying
Highway-man.
Credib.
17.
Attention is biased
-pelled to by
interest. Facili
credimus quod
volumus. Difficili
discredimus
si pro incredulitate
plectendum.

NUTT
Is it credible that
mankind should have
been thus long in
error respecting
doctrine of
evidence? why not
since they were incontestibly
in still
greater error in
evidence by Battle,
Corsind, Ordeal &c.
In private life
mens rules of judging
have all along been
consentaneous to
those here recommended.
But in judicial
proceedings there
must be something
formal & out of the
way.
All the argument
is founded in
the prejudice against
the inquisition &c.
