Ating the reasons for a rehearing. To this briet
court took exception, and ordered it to be
turned to counsel as disrespectful to the court
.s he action of the court and the contents of the
rief have been subjects Of general comment
articulary with the bar, to such an extent that
Re lay before our readers those passages the court
hdicated to be offensive
Under deep sense Of the wrong inflicted on
What he deems to be his sacred and incontestible
'lghts, by the decree rendered in the suit which
-FOUR honors have lately decided against him, and
with lingering hope that he may still obtain ius-
nee at your hands, the appellant. Moses Fox prays
ior Tehearing Of his case, on the following
grounds:
The assumption by the court that the plea of
me defendants that the will is forged or counter
ielted c0mpels the plaintiff to made additional
proof to counteract its effect is iniduiuous and
Bubyersive Of our entire system of law and jurs-
prudence.
The court, in all its reasoning, seems to ignore
mat presumption Of innocence which il the palla-
dium and egis Of the citizen.
q We protest soemnly against the rank and
gratuito1s imputation Of nfamy and guilt cast upon
an humble witness in the absence OF the slightest
Rparticle Of proof to justify it.
Ihe whole decree Of the court is predicated
'upon presumptions which are neither weighty, nor
precise, nor consistent and is throughout a per
aslstent and continuous violation and Contempt of
art. 2267, G. @.
: A judgment rendered upon partial investigation
sls always unjust and illegal. The court has pur.
SUED course which is reprobated by all the
writers, and repugnant TO good conscience Why
case?
& Tba
with such superior force and ability will plead for
our right to claim that the hearing PRAYED for be
granted.
