Excerpt from A Lecture Upon Roman Law Procedure
Now, equity is no part of the law, but a moral virtue which qualifies, moderates, and reforms the rigor, hardness, and edge of the law, and is a universal truth. It does also assist the law where it is defective and weak in the constitution (which is the life. Of the law), and defends the law from crafty evasions, delusions, and mere subtleties, invented and contrived to evade and elude the common law, whereby such as have undoubted right. Are made remediless. And thus is the Office of equity to protect and support the common law from shifts and contrivances against the justice of the law. Equity.

George Hoadly was an American politician and lawyer. He was the 36th Governor of Ohio.
Background
George Hoadly was born on July 31, 1826 in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. He was the son of George Hoadly, a graduate of Yale College and at one time mayor of New Haven, and a descendant of William Hoadley (or Hoadle) who emigrated to America before 1663 and settled ultimately at Branford, Connecticut. His mother was Mary Ann Woolsey, a great-granddaughter of Jonathan Edwards and a sister of Theodore D. Woolsey. About 1830 the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio.
Education
George attended the public schools of Cleveland and Western Reserve College, then studied law at Harvard for a year under Story and Greenleaf, completing his preparation for the bar in the office of Salmon P. Chase and his partner at Cincinnati.
Career
Admitted to practice in August 1847, Hoadly began his judicial career in 1851 as judge of the superior court of Cincinnati. In 1855 he became city solicitor, and the next year he declined Governor Chase's proffer of a seat on the state supreme bench. He was reelected judge of the superior court in 1859 and 1864 but resigned in 1866 and formed the law firm of Hoadly, Jackson & Johnson. Two years before he had become a professor in the Cincinnati Law School, and this connection continued, with interruptions, until 1887. For a time he was also a trustee of the University of Cincinnati.
At the request of the Democratic Committee he served as counsel for Tilden in the presidential contest of 1877, presenting the claims of the Florida and Oregon electors of his party before the Electoral Commission. In 1880 he was temporary chairman of the National Convention. In 1883, as Democratic candidate for governor, he defeated Joseph B. Foraker. The state constitution forbade the licensing of saloons but granted to the legislature some regulatory powers concerning them, and the Republicans had enacted a law taxing them. Hoadly, ill during the campaign, made few speeches, but the German Republicans, resenting the tax law, turned the vote in his favor. Several events of his term weakened his chances of reëlection. The state supreme court, with a Democratic majority, held the tax law unconstitutional.
The election of Henry B. Payne to the United States Senate gave rise to ugly rumors of corruption. Riots in Cincinnati and disturbances in the Hocking Valley mining districts required the use of militia, which the Governor employed so reluctantly that his course seemed hesitant to some. In the campaign of 1885 Foraker emphasized the necessity of regulating the liquor traffic and charged the Democrats with sacrificing the large revenue which the tax on saloons had yielded. Hoadly contended that no valid tax act could be passed under the existing constitution and appealed for the support of the liberal element. The contest resulted in Foraker's election.
In 1884 Hoadly had been mentioned as a candidate for the presidency. Disgusted by his defeat in 1885, he withdrew from politics and resumed the practice of law. Cleveland, his intimate friend, in vain offered him a cabinet position during his second term.
In 1887 he left the firm of Hoadly, Johnson & Colston, where his place was taken by Judson Harmon, and removed to New York City. There he established the firm of Hoadly, Lauterbach & Johnson. They became leading corporation lawyers, appearing as counsel in outstanding litigations. Hoadly personally was the legal representative of the Jefferson Davis estate, and of Mrs. Davis in her suit against the Bedford Publishing Company. His character is illustrated by his voluntary payment of $50, 000 when a man whose bondsman he was defaulted. The summer of 1902 he spent at Watkins, New York. The season was unusually cold, and he developed acute bronchitis, from which he died.

Religion
Hoadly's religious views were not well defined, but he seems to have leaned towards Unitarianism.
Politics
In youth Hoadly was a Democrat, but the slavery issue and his association with Chase drew him into the Republican party. Its reconstruction policy alienated him, however, and he shared in the Liberal-Republican movement. As a delegate to the convention of 1872 he disapproved of the nomination of Greeley. He advocated the reelection of Grant as a "choice of evils, " but he disliked the tariff policy of the Republicans, and in spite of his distaste for Greenbackism he presently rejoined the Democratic party.
Membership
Hoadly was a Scottish Rite Mason.
Personality
Despite a winning personality and convincing ability as a speaker, Hoadly was never a skilful politician. He was in his element as a lawyer.
Pale and slender in youth, he was throughout his life wiry rather than rugged.
Connections
On August 13, 1851, Hoadly married to Mary Burnet Perry, the granddaughter of Judge Jacob Burnet. They had three children.
