Excerpt from The Speech of Randle Jackson, Esq.: Addressed to the Honorable the Committee of the House of Commons, Appointed to Consider of the State of the Woollen Manufacture of England, on Behalf of the Cloth-Workers and Sheermen of the Counties of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Wiltshire, Somersetshire, And Sir, when I stated the committee to be seated as jiidges in this cause, I did it under the im pression and conviction that you will feel your selves called upon in that character to appreciate the evidence before you by those rules which courts impose upon themselves; for, however you may have varied from them in\the form of your interrogatories, or in your mode of obtain ing information; yet as judges between the parties, you will not feel yourselves at liberty to depart from that principle of immutable justice upon which the law of evidence, its construction, and application, is unvariably founded.
