If any rule in the administration of justice is to be omitted or discarded in his case. what rule isit to be? If one rule may lawfully be laid aside in his case. another rule may also be laid aside. and all rules may be discarded. In such instance a rule of evidence may be set aside in one case. a rule of pleading in another. the testimony of eyewitnesses may be rejected and hearsay adopted. or no evidence at all may be received. but simply an Inspection of the accused. as is often the case in tribunals of Asiatic countries. where personal caprice and not settled rules prevail. That would be to establish a pure. simple. undisguised depotism and tyranny with respect to foreigners resident in the country by its consent. and such an exercise of power is not permissible under our Constitution. Arbitrary and tyrannical power has no place iii our system.
