accusations for henous offences submitted to your
investigation. They will draw to themselves from
you the most serious delberation, not a different
kind of examination from that YOU will give to all
charges, but they will attract graver thoughts and
train of reasoning from facts to conclusions more
dwelt upon, oftener weighed and reconsidered
than Is usual when consequences are lighter This
is mentioned as flowing from the nature of such
accusations, not to urge upon YOU increased vigil
lance; that You would exert and could not avoid
exercising II YOU would. The mode of examining
witnesses must, Of course, be shaped bv your own
good Judgment and that be regulated by the
greater less intelligence of the witness; y his
Willingness, OF 1t may be his over-readness; by
his apparent reluctance to testify or manifest in
disposition to answer promptly and frankly as to
the matter under invest CATION
- The duration of your service must depend on
the business that will claim your attention and its
proper dispatch
