Justice, is effective benevolence – and has been already discussed (p. ) It
is the rendering of services where they are expected on adequate grounds.
It is the doing good where public opinion disappointment would
attach to its not being done, & the public opinion tribunal sanctions
the expectation that it will be done.

In civil matters & in penal matters, justice is a very different thing.
In the social field Justice is the security of that that which for secures a man from the disappointment
which would deprive him of objects to which he has a recognized right recognized
by Society. It is the application of the disappointment preventing principle.
If it is not this, it is what any person chooses to call Justice. The
Law 'Do unto another as you would they r he should do unto you' does
not apply here – nor would it serve as a definition, – because no one would willingly
inflict punishment on himself.

Justice in penal matters is the application of penal remedies. The
best justice is the best application of remedies against the evils of
maleficence. It has only to do with acts – & not with dispositions. The
dispositions belong to the moral, – the acts to the political field.
