       2. The embarrassing position of a judge is that of being in doubt, and 
  it is frequently the lot of the wisest and most enlightened to be in this 
  condition, those who have little or no experience usually find no difficulty 
  in deciding the most, problematical questions. 
       3. Some rules, not always infallible, have been adopted in doubtful 
  cases, in order to arrive at the truth. 1. In civil cases, the doubt ought 
  to operate against him, who having it in his power to prove facts to remove 
  the doubt, has neglected to do so. In cases of fraud when there is a doubt, 
  the presumption of innocence (q.v.) ought to remove it. 2. In criminal 
  cases, whenever a reasonable doubt exists as to the guilt of the accused 
  that doubt ought to operate in his favor. In such cases, particularly, when 
  the liberty, honor or life of an individual is at stake, the evidence to 
  convict ought to be clear, and devoid of all reasonable doubt. See Best on 
  Pres. Sec. 195; Wils. on Cir. Ev. 26; Theory of Presumptive Proof, 64; 33 
  How. St. Tr. 506; Burnett, Cr. Law of Scotl. 522; 1 Greenl. Ev. Sec. 1 
  D'Aguesseau, Oeuvres, vol. xiii. p. 242; Domat, liv. 3, tit. 6. 
       4. No judge is presumed to have any doubt on a question of law, and he 
  cannot therefore refuse to give a judgment on that account. 9 M. R. 355; 
  Merlin, Repert. h.t.; Ayliffe's Pand. b. 2, t. 17; Dig. lib. 34, t. 5; 
  Code, lib. 6, t. 38. Indeed, in some countries; in China, for example, 
  ignorance of the law in a judge is punishable with blows. Penal Laws of 
  China, B. 2, s. 61.
