Evidence Introd.

Among those three contending principles, the principle of utility
was pointed out as that the one and the only one to which, by a man sitting down
to the subject with the full command of his reason, unclouded by
prejudice, undisturbed by fallacious hopes or fears, the appellation
of legitimate in the character of a standard of propriety, could scarcely be refused: of which choice
the rejection of the two other both the principles in the like character
was at the same time stated as a necessary consequence: both they being each
those spurious or false principles being both of them being altogether repugnant to that true and legitimate
principle: and the appeal to either of them those false principles in the character of
a standard standard altogether incompatible with an appeal to the
only true one.

That With very little transition, correspondent to the particular
nature of the subject, the same arrangement may be will be
applied found applicable to the present purpose. In the three primary groupes
or classes of the ends of justice, we have may be seen so many immediate
branches of the principle of utility, as applied to the subject
in question – the form proper to be given by the legislator to the system
of adjective law i.e. to the system of procedure. To the principle of asceticism In To any
other distinct end which to the accomplishment of which the endeavours
of any person or set of persons employed in the planning
or execution of the system of procedure or any part of
it may come to be directed in turn the counterpart corresponds the principle of
asceticism, it being understood and experienced (for the purpose
of the argument at least, and untill time and occasion can
the plan course of the enquiry brings on the proof,) that if all
measures directed to the accomplishment of any such by- end
the necessary consequence will be a the proportionable contravention
of the legitimate end.
