...resulted in a score. The fielding on both sides, although not errorless, was fast and steady, in spite of the heavy condition of the ground and rain during the first four innings of the game.

Our courts, in contrast to the inquisitorial tribunals of the Romans, have followed a rule of neutrality; they know only what is brought before them, they are impartial.
