What is one man's gain is another's loss. - John Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge

It is far more important the law should be administered with absolute integrity, than that in this case or in that the law should be a good law or a bad one.

I think there should be no occasion on which it is absolutely, as a point or rule of law, impossible for a man to redeem his character.

It is the duty of the Judge in criminal trials to take care that the verdict of the jury is not founded upon any evidence except that which the law allows.
