Logic or Ethics Ch or § Justice

3

[Under these circumstances,] for giving expression to
the primary virtue, the with its opposite vice, the term probity
will, it is supposed be found much more apt and convenient than
the terms Justice and Injustice.

Why? because the word Justice is clogged with other
significations which bear b no relation — no such relation
in that term in question to the import of the word probity.
The word Justice for example may be employed as a
substitute for the word judicature. Not that is this
since it can be said to be synonymous to the word judicature,
but that provided the proper complement of adjutitian
words be made up, the same import may be
expressed in a sentence in which the one is in a sentence
in which the other is the principal word the leading term.

He who by whom judicature i.e. the power of judication thereby is exercised is said
to administer justice.

But on this occasion it is not ever said that probity
is administered, nor scarcely that it is exercised.

Of him by whom judication is exercised it
is commonly said that he administers justice.

Let In the exercise of his office let let the
conduct maintained by him be ever so truly and manifestly
chargeable with improbity, not only by himself
and his friends those who speak well of him will he it be said and declared that he
administers justice — then that which he administers is justice,
but even those who speak worst of him will find not without
some difficulty and perplexity be able to bring themselves to deny it.

But by no one will he in any case be said to administer
probity, scarcely by any one to exercise probity. To exercise an act of probity: this
may perhaps be found
endurable. But this and the preceding one are not the same.
