John Coleridge
What is one man's gain is another's loss.
Coleridge quotes
A Court has no right to strain the law because it causes hardship.
Coleridge
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.




We must not be guilty of taking the law into our own hands, and converting it from what it really is to what we think it ought to be.
