of the Attorney to whom it was delivered. But if the
importance of the evidence was equivocal, the unequivocal
was the profit that would be made the result of the
addition made of this article to the aggregate mass of

that passed on the occasion was unknown how should
the put upon him by the addition of this part of
the expence be detected?
