According to the principle of utility, every regulation of
substantive law ought to have for its object the contributing
to the welfare of the community in question, mankind
in general, this or that political state, this or that province,
or subordinate district in every such state in the
utmost possible degree to the extent of the which
the regulation in question exercises on so much of the general
mass of human conduct as it concerns.

According to the principle of utility, as applied to the
whole body or to this or that particular part a branch of the
body of adjective law, the propriety of the correspondent
mass of substantive law ought to be assumed. Not that
either the one branch of law is less susceptible of impropriety
than the other, but that if it be in the substantive branch
that it has is the seat of it, it is there that the ground for censure, and the
demand for correction presents itself – not in the adjective
branch.

According to the principle of utility, the propriety
of the correspondent branch of the substantive law being thus
provisionally assumed – every regulation ough of adjective
law i.e. of the system of procedure ought to have for its
object the giving the utmost possible effect to the course prediction delivered by
the corresponding branch portion of substantive law, with the least
quantity of possible of mischief possible in the character of collateral
inconvenience.
