25 April 1805
Evidence

Ch. Of the Sinister, false, improper or illegitimate
Ends of the System of Procedure.

By the ends of procedure – judicature – judicial procedure
– all these terms are used promiscuously as synonyms
– I understand, as will be seen more distinctly
further on – what is seems to be commonly understood, as far as the
import of terms is fixed, by the ends of justice.

By ends of procedure I understand all along, unless
where intimation is given to the contrary, the proper,
genuine or legitimate ends: the ends the pursuit of which
will in every each instance be dictated by the principle of
utility – general utility – by a regard for the interest
of the community in question in so far as it is rightly understood.

Correspondent and opposite to those legitimate ends (which
are the same with the ends of justice), are those which there
will further on hereafter be occasion to distinguish characterize by the appellation
of the improper, spurious, illegitimate, or sinister ends:
any ends to which, (they being in this or that point opposite
to the legitimate ends, the course of the system of procedure
may chance to be seem to have been directed by the influence of any
sinister and any interests, interests which by being
particular – as for example personal or what comes to the
same thing professional – are in that respect thereby liable to act operate
in a direction opposite to that pointed out by an enlightened
regard to general or say public interest.
