"If it is law, it will be found in our books. If it not be found there, it is not law."
Camden LJ
Camden LJ appears to believe in the rule of law. He rejects the arguments that Lord Halifax can create a warrant due to his position and declares if this right can't be found in statue or precedent no right exists. He refuses to allow a man to make the law because he has power.
It is clear Camden LJ feels the purpose of the rule of law is to protect the individual:
Facts: On the 11th November 1762 Carrington and three other men of the Kings Messengers broke into John Enticks house believing themselves to be under the warrant of the Secretary of state, Lord Halifax. They caused damage to his house and stole private papers. They then took Entick and his papers to Lovel Stanhope, Halifax's law clerk.
Carrington and the three other Kings Messengers were sued by Entick for trespass.
