Mr. Utterson is in a very bad position in this situation: he must choose between being a good friend to Mr. Jekyll and following the law. Although this can be a very difficult decision to make, I would personally choose following the law. Mr. Utterson is a lawyer and he has to consider everyone else's safety and well-being, in addition to Mr. Jekylls'. Mr. Utterson needs to look at the big picture and all of the other consequences that would occur if he did play the part of a "good friend" to Mr. Jekyll.
