It is unjust and wrong, when it deviates3 from it. lt is the same with our will or our intention.

RULE OF LAW. Rules of law are general maxims5, formed by the courts, who having observed what is common to many particular cases, announce this conformity6 by a maxim4, which is called a rule; because in doubtful and unforeseen cases, it is a rule for their decision; it embraces particular cases within general principles.
