the importance of which, 1 doubt not, is already
sufficiently *impressed upon your minds. But I can-
not let this Opportunity pass without directing your
particular attention to one or two cases whirls wiU

in the mantier.in Which you are boorid to view th+t+t6,
you must take care that in your return of the severe%

the one nyraggrayeting. the other upon doubtful or
incomplete evidence, an far as your judgment enables
you to decide; always taking care that it is better
