Suits in pendency
(3) (11 § Benefits
Non-disappointmt principle
Ruling principle
Imitative Custom following
These may be thus designated and characterized
1. Imitative principle
2. Custom following principle
3
1 Imitative principle
1 Imitative principle. In so far as concerns reason it
from this principle that this is the principle from
which conduct receives its direction, the intent act of one person
is determined by the consideration that by this or that assignable
person exercise has been given to some individual act has been to which the individual
bearing a resemblance more or less close to that whose
on account of such resemblance or on the individual occasion
in question accordingly exercised.
2 Custom following
principle
2. Custom following principle. The particular in which
alone this principle differs from the other is this: namely
that in this case not an individual, one or more assignable
are the persons of whose conduct imitative as above, is made
but persons in number more than one, and all of them individually
unassignable.

Sheep and goose principles
these
Sheep and goose principles — by this conscious appellation
the imitative principle and the custom following principles may
both of them not simply be designated: at any where it
is in opposition to the non disappointment principle, or any
other principle, acting in subordination to the greatest happiness
principle, in both cases guided by instinct and not by
reason, p eyes of the mind all along closed, man follows man as sheep sheep and goose
gooses

Lord Bacon's aphorism
on this subject
On this subject Lord Bacon has an aphorism
or say directing rule, which presents some claim to consideration
at the hands of those in whom who the will or the power to employ
for this purpose the general happiness principle being wanting to
then give employment instead to this or that vague gemster
culled out of the works of that philosopher. Let Reason (says
he) be fruitful; Custom, barren. This Such is the husbandry
of Lord Bacon, how stands the matter in these? Reason is breeds like a
fox-martin; Custom like a doe-rabbit. [+] [+] On the field of Law that
has outbred the Irish
Countess of Desmond with
her 365 boys and girls It is she that has
bred the 1001 printed volumes that comprise the English unwritten law: the existence of which
is no less strictly law than that
of the aforesaid progeny of the Irish Countess.
