4529. LAW, Transcending.—[continued].
On great occasions every
good officer must be ready to risk himself in
going beyond the strict line of law, when the
public preservation requires it; his motives
will be a justification as far as there is any
discretion in his ultra-legal proceedings, and
no indulgence of private feelings.—
To Governor Claiborne. Washington ed. v, 40.
