In the a Court of Equity where the individual from closer evidence is to be extracted
from is a party (the Defendant) the mode employable
in the first (in that stage of the course at least) is
the epistolary mode only: where an extraneous witness,
the oral mode only, and thus in secret, neither
door shut against both parties party admitted, the questions put by a Clerk
to whom it is matter of indifference who cares not whether the answers be true or false.
In he his one enquiry made by a Committee of either
House of Parliament, the two modes of examination —
oral and epistolary, either or both, are employed as
the nature of the case requires. And in a Court
of conscience, supposing the nature of the case to require
this course, there is nothing to prevent it.
