Note :
Equitable jurisprudence in England and in the United States grew up from the inadequacy of common -
law forms to secure justice in all cases ;
and this led to distinct courts by which equity was applied in the way of injunctions ,
bills of discovery ,
bills for specified performance ,
and other processes by which the merits of a case could be reached more summarily or more effectively than by common -
law suits .
By the recent English Judicature Act (
1873 ),
however ,
the English judges are bound to give effect ,
in common -
law suits ,
to all equitable rights and remedies ;
and when the rules of equity and of common law ,
in any particular case ,
conflict ,
the rules of equity are to prevail .
In many jurisdictions in the United States ,
equity and common law are thus blended ;
in others distinct equity tribunals are still maintained .

In the early history of the law ,
the sense affixed to this word was exceedingly vague and uncertain .
This was owing ,
in part ,
to the fact ,
that the chancellors of those days were either statesmen or ecclesiastics ,
perhaps not very scrupulous in the exercise of power .
It was then asserted that equity was bounded by no certain limits or rules ,
and that it was alone controlled by conscience and natural justice .

In a moral sense ,
that is called equity which is founded ,
ex oequo et bono ,
in natural justice ,
in honesty ,
and in right .
In an enlarged .
legal view , "
equity ,
in its true and genuine meaning ,
is the soul and spirit of the law ;
positive law is construed ,
and rational law is made by it .
In this ,
equity is made synonymous with justice ;
in that ,
to the true and sound interpretation of the rule ."

This equity is justly said to be a supplement to the laws ;
but it must be directed by science .
The Roman law will furnish him with sure guides ,
and safe rules .
In that code will be found ,
fully developed ,
the first principles and the most important consequences of natural right . "
From the moment when principles of decision came to be acted upon in chancery ,"
says Mr .
Justice Story , "
the Roman law furnished abundant materials to erect a superstructure ,
at once solid ,
convenient and lofty ,
adapted to human wants ,
and enriched by the aid of human wisdom ,
experience and learning ."

But equity has a more restrained and qualified meaning .
The remedies for the redress of wrongs ,
and for the enforcement of rights ,
are distinguished into two classes ,
first ,
those which are administered in courts of common law ;
and ,
secondly ,
those which are administered in courts of equity .
Rights which are recognized and protected ,
and wrongs which are redressed by the former courts ,
are called legal rights and legal injuries .
Rights which are recognized and protected ,
and wrongs which are redressed by the latter courts only ,
are called equitable rights and equitable injuries The former are said to be rights and wrongs at common law ,
and the remedies ,
therefore ,
are remedies at common law ;
the latter are said to be rights and wrongs in equity ,
and the remedies ,
therefore ,
are remedies in equity .
Equity jurisprudence may ,
therefore ,
properly be said to be that portion of remedial justice which is exclusively administered by a court of equity ,
as contradistinguished from that remedial justice ,
which is exclusively administered by a court of law .
