PRECEDENTS .
the decision of courts of justice ;
when exactly in point with a case before the court ,
they are generally held to have a binding authority ,
as well to keep the scale of justice even and steady ,
as because the law in that case has been solemnly declared and determined .

According to Lord Talbot ,
it is "
much better to stick to the known general rules ,
than to follow any one particular precedent ,
which may be founded on reason ,
unknown to us ."

says ,
that a former decision is in general to be followed ,
unless "
manifestly absurd or unjust ,",
and ,
in the latter case ,
ii is declared ,
when overruled ,
not that the former sentence was bad law ,
but that it was not law .

Precedents can only be useful when they show that the case has been decided upon a certain principle ,
and ought not to be binding when contrary to such principle .
If a precedent is to be followed because it is a precedent ,
even when decided against an established rule of law ,
there can be no possible correction of abuses ,
because the fact of ,
their existence renders them above the law .
It is always safe to rely upon principles .
