'De minimis non curat lex' the English of which is 'the law taketh no cognisance of fractions' is a maxim among the salaried judges of the inferior courts in Westminster Hall, which we the unpaid, the in-cor-rup-ti-ble magistrates of the proud county of Surrey, have adopted in the very deep and mature deliberation that preceded the formation of our most solemn judgment.
Spencer appears to have forgotten that though de minimis non curat lex, though all the laws fail when applied to trifles, yet too sudden a change in the manner in which our ideas are associated is as cataclysmic and subversive of healthy evolution as are material convulsions, or too violent revolutions in politics.
