In Answer to Mora

States there is no such Libel Law All

All over the field of Penal Law it is good as far as it
operates, where the punishment is death: a punishment invented
to glut vengeance and render unjust condemnation irremediable
and exclude justice by destroying evidence, good, but
why? Only because there ought to be no such punishment as
destruction of life. I

In cases punished capitally where the defendant is believed
by them not to have committed the act, perjury being regarded
in the instance of every Juryman whose opinion
agrees not with that of the majority Jurymen in a capitally
punished case are placed between perjury and murder.
They begin to prefer the perjury and they do well: being so
continually compelled by Law to commit perjury to no purpose
it would be weakness to scruple to commit it to so good
a purpose.

In "Swear not at all" you may see hoy by torture Lawyers
force men whom they find honest to commit perjury.— but
you cannot see without coming here to see, with what solemnity,
with what unction pious Judges who have just been
producing the perjury conjure Jurors not to forget the regard
due to theis oaths.

No Jury in cruel causes: Think not that of this valuous reasonings
the man support ground: it e has a compleatly adequate support in
exjuricem. In England it is by a single noted Judicatory in Law
Chancellors meet causes if almost und the greatest competencies are heeded:
and L Chancellors compel enough in their any we have
had at all times: yo in the form of procedure is such as it
assists right cases of the Moral object lend has to render right
decent rare: yet on no term has it been so much on
started short on that judicatory the cherure forfector, so far as
defend upon the judicatory is less than in any of those other
juricatores whach which than non other one Judge with a harder an occassional exemplanimal of
Jurymen or four Judges.
