50.
In employing 2 assumptions
1. that it is the general
rule of action laid down
by competent authority.
2. that whatever is
meant by rectitude &
propriety this rule is
a proper one: take
any maxim of justice
& apply it so that justice
will be done. It will
be found that a dictate
of justice is greatest
happiness principle
is same as do. of justice.
In & by the employmt. given to the word justice two
assumptns. are implicitly impliedly contained: assn. 1. that by compett. authory. the
general rule of actn. has been laid down: assn. 2. that whatsever
be meant by rectitude & propriety this rule is itself reference had
to the situatn. in whh. it is thus placed — a right & proper one. Now then take
for exemplificatn. & explanatn.'s sake any one of the rules of detail brought to
view in the characr. of rules or maxims of justice: rules by the observance
of whh. justice will be done — rules by the non-observance of
whh. justice will be violated or in other words injustice will
be done. If then so it be that the rule thus exhibited in the
character of a maxim or dictate of justice is the same whh.
on this same occasn. wd. be found to be a dictate or say
precept emanating frm. the greatt. happss. prine., then thus
far are the notions of the author of the rule in a state of
conformity & due subordinatn. with reference to the greatt.
happss. prine.: & the dictate or say precept thus deduced
on the greatt. happss. prine. may be said to be a
dictate of justice in considn. of the determinateness of the form
of words by whh. it stands expressed.
