Ch. Ends of Justice

§ . 1. Ends of Justice
13
In every state except
France the rule of action
consists more or less of
this imaginary law
(2)
Art. Were it not for the defilement which the word
legitimate has of late years experienced from the use abuse which
of late years has been made of it, these ends of justice
might be termed the legitimate ends of judicature.
Contradistinguished from these are which are the customary or actual ends of
judicature of which in the sections followings
14
Ends legitimate and
customary
(1)
Art. As yet in every political state of except
the French, the greatest a great part of the rule of action, and even
in the French some part has remained in this state of imaginary
law which may be called its barbarian state—
what is called law being as to this part of it what counterfeit
coin money made of base metal or be genuine money made
out of one of the pretious metals by the authority of government:
a product of imposture pregnant with fertile in evil in every
imaginable shape, keeping all rights in a state of perpetual
uncertainty: a very Pandora's box
15
This code formed under
the supposition of a
Code of real substantive
law
Accordingly under no other supposition could any this
Code or any proposed Procedure having for its end the ends of justice have been framed
than that of the existence of a a corresponding Code of Substantive
law expressed coming in a direct way from the Sovereign
authority or the state, and expressed in and by a determinate
sort set of words. Accordingly it is to an all comprehensive body
of law in their only genuine form that the present paper.
Procedure Code will in every part of it be seen to bear reference.
