- ubi lex est specialis, et ratio ejus generalis, generaliter accipienda est
- /yuwbay leks est speshiyeylas, et reysh(iy)ow iyjas, jenareylatar aksipiyenda est/Where the law is special, and the reason of it general, it ought to be taken as being general. When the reason for a particular legislative act and acts of the same general character is the same, they should have the same effect. Guile v. La Crosse Gas & Electric Co., 145 Wis. 157, 130 N.W. 234, 241
