Of these, the first is expressed in these simple words: "If the parties will have judgment, fiat justitia, ruat coelum: let justice be done, whatever be the consequence." The Latin phrase which here plays such a prominent part, though of classical stamp, cannot be traced to any classical origin, and it has even been asserted that it was freshly coined by Lord Mansfield on this occasion, worth of such commanding truth in such commanding phrase. But it is of older date, and from another mint,—though it is not to͘ much to say, that it to͘k its currency and authority from欣. Coming from such a conservative magistrate, it is of peculiar importance. With little expansion, it says openly: 都every man his natural rights; justice to all, without distinction of person, without adbridgment, and without compromise. Let justice be done, though it drags down the pillars of the sky. Thus spoke the Chief Justice of England.
