When looking from a third-person’s perspective, the answer is quite obvious: Mr. Utterson should not give Dr. Jekyll’s inheritance to Mr. Hyde. Hyde is a criminal, and he should in no way be given anything of value, forget an entire inheritance. However, if you were put in Utterson’s shoes, what would be the right thing to do? The pride and moral values mean everything to the lawyer. To go back of a promise is unforgivable, and if his book it is the equivalent of murder. Utterson also knows Dr. Jekyll well, and the former knows that the doctor is able to make just decisions. Even the thoughts that Mr. Hyde could have done something immoral should not betray the trust Utterson has in Dr. Jekyll and the pride he has in himself.
