62 THE SOURCES OF- THE LAW OF ENGLAND. denotes the law which, prior to the Judicature Act, was administered in the three superior Courts of law at West- minster as distinct from that administered by the Court of Chancery at Lincoln's Inn. At other times it is used in contradistinction to the statute law, and then .denotes the unwritten law, whether legal or equitable in its origin > which does not derive its authority from any express declara- tion of the will of the Legislature. This unwritten law has the same force and effect as the statute law. It depends for its authority upon the recognition given by our <strong>Law</strong> Courts to principles, customs and rules of conduct previously exist- ing among the people. This recognition was formerly enshrined in the memory of legal practitioners and suitors in the Courts ; it is now recorded in the voluminous series of our law reports, which embody the decisions of our judges together with the reasons which they assigned for their decisions. At the present time, then, our law is practically derived from two sources only— precedents and statutes. Text-books,, though sometimes valuable aids in discovering what precedents or statutes are material in any given question, are in them- selves of no conclusive authority. Legal fictions have for the most part happily disappeared. There is now but little judge-made law. It is the duty of the judges to declare the unwritten law, to interpret the written law, but not to make new law. It is the province of the statesman, not of the lawyer, to discuss, and of the Legislature to determine, what is best for the public good, and to provide for it by proper enactments. In many instances the law expressly gives our judges a discretion in dealing with particular cases ; but such discretion must be exercised judicially, and must be regulated by legal principles. " Discretion, when applied to a Court of justice, means sound discretion guided by law. It must be governed by rule, not by humour ; it must not be arbitrary, vague and fanciful, but legal and regular." 1 i Per Lord Mansfield, 0. J., in R. v. Wilkes (1770), 4 Burr, at pp. 2639, 2540 ; and see the judgment of Lord Halsbury, L. C, in Sharp -\ Wakefield, [1891] A. 0. at p. 179.
THE COMMON LAW. Hence, whenever any doubtful question of law arises, the difficulty must now be solved either by searching among precedents or by studying statutes. In the next chapter we will discuss the best method of ascertaining from these sources the present law of the land. (3&
