HistoryEvidence. The recital of facts written and given out for true. Facts stated in histories may be read in evidence, on the ground of their notoriety.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Evidence
Proof of fact(s) presented at a trial. The best and most common method is by oral testimony; where you have an eye-witness swear to tell the truth and to then relate to the court (or jury) their experience. Evidence is essential in convincing the judge or jury of your facts as the judge (or jury) is expected to start off with a blank slate; no preconceived idea or knowledge of the facts. So it is up to the opposing parties to prove (by providing evidence), to the satisfaction of the court (or jury), the facts needed to support their case. Besides oral testimony, an object can be deposited with the court (eg. a signed contract). This is sometimes called "real evidence." In other rarer cases, evidence can be circumstantial.
Recital
Contracts, pleading. The repetition of some former writing, or the statement of something which has been done.
Notoriety
Evidence. That which is generally known.
