To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, as a man's garment may be bloodied by stand* ing too near a beast that ia lulled for sacrifice* or by his bleeding at the nose, we are not therefore to con- clude, that every man, whose cloaths are bloody, has been guilty of homicide. But, though this pre* sumption, of itself, is of no great weight, yet it be- comes very strong, when joined to other circu mstances. For example, when it is proved that %ht accused had threatened the deceased, that he entertained an enmity towards him, and th...at they were together upon the spot where the deceased's body was found. Now, when a presumption is strengthened by posi- tive proofs of this kind, suspicion then rises, as it were, into certainty. Some presumptive proofs there are, of which both parties may avail them- selves, such as discolourings, and swellings, which may equally be the symptoms of crudities as of poison. And a pleader has as much reason to chai^ the deceased with having given himself the mortal wound, as another has to charge the accused.
