PREFACE.

THE New Statute, 19 & 20 Vict. c. 108, amending the Acts relating to the County Courts, followed by the New Rules and Orders, regulating the Practice of those Courts, rendered it desirable that a compendious Treatise should be prepared as a Supplement to the last Edition of the Author's Manual of Practice and Evidence in the County Courts.

Although the following pages are chiefly intended for the Purchasers of the larger Work, it is hoped that the matter will be found so treated and arranged as to render the Supplement a complete Manual of the Practice for those who may prefer having it in a separate form.

One aim of the Author has been to point out to the Practitioner the object of the various New Provisions, so that their effect may be readily comprehended. For this purpose considerable use has been made of the

valuable Report of the County Court Commissioners,
on which the New Act was chiefly founded.

A full Index has been prepared for the entire Work,
but with the References so arranged as to prevent any
embarrassment to those who may possess the Supple-
ment alone.
