Synopsis

Excerpt from The Indian Evidence Act (I. Of 1872)

Of these errata three, viz., Nos. 8, 10, and 11, make substantial alterations in the Act on points on which it was drawn advisedly in the words in which it now stands, for various reasons which were carefully con sidered and regarded as satisfactory. Upon these points there is of course room for difference of opinion, but there was no inadvertence.

Excerpt from The Indian Evidence Act (I. Of 1872): With an Introduction, Principles of Judicial Evidence

On the 5th March, 1872, in moving that the "Indian Evidence Act" should be taken into consideration by the Legislative Council, I said - "many topics closely" connected with the subject of Evidence are incapable of being satisfactorily dealt with by ex press law. It would be easy to dilate upon the theory on which the whole subject rests, and the manner in which an Act of this kind should be used in practice. I think, however, that it would not be proper to do so on the present occasion. I have therefore put into writing what I have to say on these subjects, and I propose to publish what I have written, by way of a commentary upon, or introduction to, the Act itself I hope that this may be some use to Civil Servants who are preparing in England for their Indian career, and to the law students in Indian universities. The subject is one which reaches far beyond law. The law of evidence is nothing unless it is founded upon a rational conception of the manner in which truth as to all matters of fact whatever ought to be investigated."

This, written for the most part before these remarks were made, but corrected and completed since my return to England, is the Introduction referred to.
