Where new questions arise and the " iil of h-s ro:v-.im. ;Hs can by any means be ascertai :cd, the representative is bound by that will, whether expressed or implied. Amid the multitudinous subjects which come before legislatures, interests equities, often clash Here the legislator's course becomes thorny & difficult lie must examine, collate, compare and prefer the greater always to the less.

On questions of expediency, propriety, policy the representative is always bound by, the will of I is constituents ; but no instruction, nor agreement can sanction wrong or excuse manifest injustice.
