Reasons against Vouchers
4
Be the above definitions respectively more or less correct,
viz. with reference to the purpose here in question
(for no such document as an Invoice happens at present
to be applicable to me ) which <gap/. copies of the <add> individual Invoices in </add>
question, viz. that which in this occasion if this Account can send in to the Board not having been preserved) what is certain is
that in neither instance does the document possess,
for or in respect of the correctness or completeness of the statements
<contained in and expressed by it, either of the securities
respectively afforded by the sanction of an oath
(including the eventual punishment in case of wilful
falsehood attached to it) in the scrutiny performed
by the process of called cross-examination.
In respect relation to bot these species of Vouchers, two
tendencies, both of them, it is conceived adverse to the
ends of justice, appear in the occasion in question, to
have been manifested.
One is the tendency through production for the ready evidence in the ready written form called a Voucher a tendency
written of
to , and this subject to a virtual exclusion
evidence, though from the same source, on that </dell those inferior
in which alone, what is regarded as evidence, is ever
received in an ordinary Court of Justice: viz. 1 testimony
obtained either in the oral or the epistolary mode upon oath, and with subject to cross-examination:
and at any rate under
2, Affidavit evidence, which though not
subject to cross examination, has for its security against wilful
the mention of an oath.
