In the face of the important alterations in the Law of Bankruptcy which have been brought about by the Bankruptcy Act, 1883, it has been suggested that a series of Reports of Cases decided under the New Act may be of some service to the profession. With this view the present series of Reports has been undertaken. It is proposed to include all Cases of importance under the New Bankruptcy Act which may be decided in the High Court of Justice or the Court of Appeal, and by this means it is hoped that in due course a complete Treatise, showing the working of the New Bankruptcy Law, may be provided. It is felt that the value of the present Reports will be much increased if they are placed in the hands of the profession as soon as possible after the Cases noted have been decided; and an earnest endeavour will be made to ensure this being done. The effort thus to prevent any delay will, it is trusted, satisfactorily account for the size of the various parts being somewhat smaller than those of other well-known Reports, and may necessitate the issue being more frequent. Lastly, the Editor is not unconscious of the vast importance of the task imposed upon him, in carrying out which he appeals to the friendly judgment of those in whose interests the work has been undertaken. 4, ESSEX COURT, TEMPLE, E.C.
