Evidence Introd

Introd

Ch. 23. Technically appropriate

'.1.

What then re the contents of that part of an English law book on the subject of evidence which treats of technically appropriate evidence what there are /of the nature of/ the contents - what the description of the sort of questions treated in it?

The answer is - they may be distinguished into two classes.

1. One class is composed of questions that are altogether questions of law not having any thing to do with evidence as distinct from evidence as it is possible for any question of law to be

2. The other class is composed of questions relative to the effect proper to be given with reference to the principle fact in question, to this or that fact the proof or establishment of which by sufficient evidence is supposed, or the character of an evidentiary fact - an article of circumstantial evidence.
