(Committees of Evidence) the spoken
word, writings and documents are to be considered as evidence.
Session withholds may not be used as evidence but evidence may not be refused because it also has been
given in a
session.
Hearsay evidence (saying one heard somebody say that somebody else did) should not be admissible evidence, but statements that one heard another make damaging remarks or
saw another
act or fail to
act is admissible.
