This concludes my general rules on this subject.
We will now proceed to consider the several parts
of forensic cases, and although I cannot follow them
to the ultimate species,1 that is to say, I cannot deal
with individual suits and controversies, I shall be
able to discuss them on general lines in such a way
as to show what bases most of them involve. And
since the first question naturally is whether an
alleged fact has taken place, I will begin with this.
