law that something disagreeable must
inevitably happen to iuutinii'r> in such
cases. With most nations s o h laws are
hardly ever left ill an unwritten -stale

minuteness and exacted with consejeu

fore very dangerous. True it is an
ntieifiii thinrj of hngiish taw that the
king ran do no wrong: yet to insure jm-i-
|N*tnal agreement between theory ami
la>-t. the king is not ex|»cclcd lu do any
tiling vrhiitever in the way of managing
the affairs of his kingdom. While the
king mu do no wrong it is a well known
faet that all the |»cop|c who are alsiiil
him as advisers ean do wrong even to
the peril of their lives. It is also true
that the king in theory is the fountain
ot honor dignities and juntie*. Hut the
t.mnt.cn must U- tup|s.*d in certain *s
taldislnd ways; and tin* j indite. honor
and dignity must flow through eertain
appointed channels and through lio oth
