ASSISTED BY W. A. BRIGG, M.A., LL.M., OF THE INNER TEMPLE, ESQ., BARRISTER-AT-LAW. LONDON: WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, LIMITED, 27, FLEET STREET. 1890. ADVERTISEMENT. THE object of this publication is to present to the Practitioner and others a handy and inexpensive work, comprising a COMPLETE ANNUAL DIGEST of every Case reported during each year in all the Courts, whether in the "Law Reports," or in any other Reports, and arranged in such a form as will be most likely to prevent the possibility of any Case, on whatever subject, escaping notice. 66 The Digest comprises every Case (up to the 1st of December, 1889) which is contained in the "Law Reports," "The Law Journal Reports," "The Law Times Reports," "The Weekly Reporter," "Cox's Criminal Cases," " Aspinall's Maritime Law Cases," "O'Malley and Hardcastle's Election Petition Reports," "Fox's Registration Cases" (in continuation of Coltman), "The Justice of the Peace," "Browne and Macnamara's Railway Cases," and "The Times Law Reports " (up to the 14th Aug., 1889). A note has been inserted of each case reported in the "Weekly Notes" (up to the 28th Sept., 1889), and not subsequently reported in the "Law Reports." All decisions of interest to the English Lawyer reported in the IRISH Law Reports are included in the Digest. So also with the SCOTCH Cases reported in the Court of Session and Justiciary Reports. Of some of the less important Scotch Cases a reference only has been made to the subject-matter of the decision. References also are given to the subject-matter of AMERICAN decisions which are likely to be of use or of general interest, from Davis' Reports of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the "American State Reports" of decisions in Courts of last resort in the several States. The Index contains the names of all cases reported in English Reports. Every Case followed, specially considered, or overruled, in or by English, Irish, or Scotch decisions, is contained in the table for that purpose. This table, and the lists of all Statutes and Rules which have been under the consideration of the Courts, will be found useful for noting up reports and text-books. |
