Ch. Propositions
§. Procedure
Epistolary mode
how extendable

1
Epistolary mode as
far as it goes be employed
1. In examination not
only of defendants but of
Plaintiffs & extraneous
witnesses

That The epistolary mode being employed at in the cases abovementioned
state be employed in eliciting evidence not only from as at
present from Defendants, but moreover from unentrusted witness in the same sort
virtue as conceived from Plaintiffs.

That the use of the epistolary mode may be carried employed as far as
it will go: employed in eliciting evidence not only from Defendants but viva
voce in the same such form mere witnesses Plaintiffs: not merely from
parties, but moreover from extra — who in so far as they
it delivered by them are not the less witnesses, but moreover from extraneous
witnesses — who alone are in the present plan spoken of under the denomination
of witnesses.

2 not only from
persons in England but
in foreign countries

That it be employed not only for the elicitation of evidence
not only from persons whose residence at the time is within the territory
over which the authority of the Judiciary system of establishment of England extends
but moreover from all persons over whom that it is in the power of that
same establishment by any lawful means to exercise appropriate relevant
and adequate influence that is to say not only whether in London and
Scotland and Ireland and the several distant dependencies of the United
Kingdom all over the surface of the globe, but within the dominion of
foreign governments: for if there be but so much as a single right
whether in possession or expectancy which in case of non-resistance
or false responsion it would be in the power of the English Judicature
to divest the proposed examinee in whichsoever of the above capacities
addressed; that right would in proportion according to the value of it
be as effectual as to the obtainment of correct and compleat evidence
as if he were resident within the judicial territory of the Judicatory from which
the interrogation paper emanated. So to the receipt of the interrogation
paper, that is a fact which the establishment of which would be alike
necessary in every case.
