The law judges would then gravely
assure the sutton that much as they
sympathized with him they could not
help him; that there was no power
In human law to prevent any one
from doing anything, unless it were
to hang him in anticipation of what
he might do.
But suppose now the the disap-
pointed sutton got the ear Of the
chancellor with his tale, and asked
the chancellor If all that folderol
were in keeping with the kings con-
science. The chancellor would say
something like this: 1.-THE king can do
no wrong, or permit any of his sub
jects to wrong another. Whatyour
neighbor threatens. is contrary to con-
science-the king conscience. If those
\ law judges cannot head him off, I
will" So he would issue an injunc-
. ton ordering the man who made the
threat not to carry5it out.
. Do you ask how that order could
, prevent the carrying out Of the threat
, any more than the law itself could
! if the law already forbade the act ?
: You have It.
. OF course the tntiinction order could
not prevent the ..act .anv mora thar
!. the law could. unlass Il scared the
: man more. But the old chancellor,
D could have explained the difference
: If the man .enjoined were charged be.
