Página 311 - And to warrant a conviction on circumstantial evidence each fact necessary to the conclusion sought to be established must be proven by competent evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, and all the facts necessary to such conclusion must be consistent with each other and with the main fact sought to be proved, and the circumstances, taken together, must be of a conclusive nature, leading, on the whole, to a satisfactory conclusion, and producing, in effect, a reasonable and moral certainty that the accused,...
Página 239 - The usual character of human testimony is substantial truth under circumstantial variety. This is what the daily experience of courts of justice teaches.

Página 157 - In answer thereto, we state to your Lordships, that we think the medical man, under the circumstances supposed, cannot in strictness be asked his opinion in the terms above stated, because each of those questions involves the determination of the truth of the facts deposed to, which it is for the jury to decide, and the questions are not mere questions upon a matter of science, in which case such evidence is admissible. But where the facts are admitted or not disputed, and the question becomes substantially...
Página 365 - no person can be convicted of murder, or manslaughter, unless the death of the person alleged to have been killed and the fact of the killing by the defendant, as alleged, are, each, established as independent facts ; the former by direct proof and the latter beyond a reasonable doubt».
Página 269 - Provided, that if upon the Trial of any Person for any such subsequent Offence such Person shall give Evidence of his good Character, it shall be lawful for the Prosecutor, in answer thereto, to give Evidence of the Conviction of such Person for the previous...
