W ells, Doc, 24, 1824, WEST SUSSEX AND EAST HAMPSHIRE INFIR MARY. AT a MEETING held at the COUNCIL CHAMBER, CHICHESTER, on Wednesday the 29th December, 1824, for the purpose of Establishing a GENERAL. INFIRMARY for the WESTERN PART of SUSSEX and EASTERN PART of HAMPSHIRE, His Grace the DUKE of RICHMOND in the Chair, The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed upon:- 1. That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that Public Hospi tals for the reception of the Sick and Disabled Poor, are so ex tremely beneficial, not merely to the distressed objects them selves, but to all classes of the community, that they cannot be too much encouraged ; that although their utility is by no means confined within very narrow limits, it is much greater in their vicinity than at a considerable distance; and, therefore, that it is highly desirable that every district which is capable of maintaining one of a size sufficiently large to afford all the benefits these Establishments are calculated to yield, should possess such a Charity. 2. That the District constituted by the Western part of Sus sex and Eastern part of Hampshire, appears fully capable of supporting such a Charity • that the present period of peace and general prosperity is peculiarly favourable for its institution ; and that the City of Chichester possesses many advantages as the site of such an Establishment. 3. That for these reasons, and from the particular form and extent of this County, the recent institution of a similar Charity at Brighton, does not in any degree, lessen the expediency of establishing one in this District. 4. That is the unanimous opinion of this Meeting, that a General Infirmary be now established at Chichester, on such a scale, and of such dimensions (to be fixed hereafter), as at once may be co-adequate with the resources of the District, and the wants of its diseased Poor ; and that it be denominated " The West Sussex, East Hampshire, and Chichester General In firmary and Dispensary." 5. That Subscriptions for the purpose of carrying the last Resolution into effect be immediately commenced ; and that the names of Subscribers be received at the Banks in Chiches ter, and the other Banks of the District. 6. That a Committee, consisting of the present Members of the Dispensary Committee, and of the Noblemen and Gentle men who have signed the Requisition for calling this Meeting (being Subscribers), with power to add to their number, be forthwith appointed (five to be a quorum); that they be au thorised to solicit Donations for the Building and Equipment of the Infirmary, and Annual Subscriptions for its future Mainte nance ; and that they take all necessary steps to ascertain the amount of the Funds likely to be raised for both purposes. 7. That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be held on Wednesday the 2d of February next, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee, of determin ing the size of the Establishment, and of making such other necessary arrangements as may seem proper for the completion of the undertaking. 8. That it is not intended that the Annual subscriptions should commence before the lit of January, 1826, (in which year it is expected that the Infirmary will be opened) ; yet as it is necessary, in order to determine the size of the Establish ment, that the amount of this class of funds should be known, it is the unanimous opinion of the Meeting that all those who intend to became Annual Subscribers, should give in their names previously to the next General Meeting in February. 9. That the hest thanks of the Meeting be given to the Mayor of Chichester for the use of the Council Chamber. 10. That the thanks of the Meeting he given to the Archi tects who have kindly furnished it with plans of Hospitals ; and to the Medical Officers of different Hospitals, who have so obligingly supplied Reports and other useful documents. 11. That the best thanks of this Meeting be given to Dr. Forbes for the zeal he has shown in endeavouring to promote the desirable object for which this Meeting is assembled ; and for his exertions in procuring statements and plans of nearly every Hospital in England. 12. That these Resolutions be published in the Papers, to gether with the list of Donations and Annual Subscriptions now, and hereafter to be received. 13. That the best thanks of this Meeting be given to those Noblemen and Gentlemen who have been instrumental in pro moting the benevolent views of the projectors of the Charity, and in calling the present Meeting, and that they he requested to co-operate with the Committee in completing the work so auspiciously begun. (signed) MC11310311), Chairman. (The Chairman having left the Chair), on the motion. of Lord Selsey, it was Resolved, That the warmest thanks of this Meeting be given to the Duke of Richmond for his able, kind, and liberal conduct in the Chair, and for his ready as sistance on all occasions in promoting the interests of the Cha ritable Institutions of this City and District.

This Society has been established upon principles combining the most perfect security, with advantages equal to those offered by any Institution of a similar character. The Capital amounts to TWO MILLIONS, subscribed in Shares of 1001. each, and upon which a Deposit of Ten per Cent. has been paid. -- his Deposit, and the accumulations thereon, will form the present Capital of the Company, with a further claim upon the Subscribers to pay such sums as may he required to the extent of their respective Shares. Whilst a resident Directory gives an assurance to Manches ter, and its important neighbourhood, of the good faith and liberality with which the engagements of this Company will be entered into and observed, the formation of local Committees selected from a highly respectable Proprietary is calculated to extend the same advantages to the more remote districts. The Directors refer with pleasure to the regulations, whereby one-third of the actual Profits will he distributed among the Assured without any liability on their part to the Losses.

In the Press, To be published by BALDWIN, CRADOCK, and JOY, . London, A PRACTICAL and E [Alm E,NT ARY CB- ABRIDGMENT of the CASES argued and deter mined in the Courts of KING'S BENCH, COMMON PLEAS, EXCHEQUER, and at NISI PRIUS • and of the RULES of COURT, from the Restoration in 1660, to Michaelmas Term, 4 Geo. IV. With important Manuscript Cases, Alphabetically, Chronologically, and Systematically Arranged and Translated ; with copious Notes and Refer ences to the Year Books, Analogous Adjudications, Text Writers, and Statutes, specifying what decisions have been Affirmed, Recognised, Qualified, or Over-ruled ; comprising under the several Titles a Practical Treatise on the different. Branches of the Common Law. By CHARLES PETERSDORFF, EsQ. Of the Inner Temple. A practical and elementary abridgment of the COMMO' LAW REPORTS, from the period they assumed a useful and intelligible form, has fur a series of years been an increasing desideratum. ttules of Law are never universal. There are always some limits affixed to their specific application. An acquintance with the first principles which constitute the basis of our sys tem of jurisprudence, without a corresponding knowledge of the facts and circumstances which gave rise to their establish ment and promulgation, has been, therefore, at all times con sidered rather a source of difficulty and embarrassment than of utility to the practitioner. A comprehensive knowledge of the important qualifications engrafted upon those primary rules, when applied to particular facts, can alone be attained by con sulting either the defusive reports of the cases themselves in which the doctrines were originally propounded, or those in which they have been subsequently confirmed, or by having recourse to a concise yet accurate, abridgment, in which the material facts, the pleadings, and the judgments, are faith fully developed. To practitioners of learning and expe rience, who by their constant and regular attendance in the Courts are acquainted with every new modifi cation or extension of the Law produced by each succeeding decision, the Report Books are the most satisfactory and authen tic medium of reference. But to the majority of the profession, to whom the opportunities of acquiring legal knowledge have been limited, and whose practice has been circumscribed, no mode of obtaining information can be more uncertain or delu sive than the perusal ofany particular decision unconnected with the prior or subsequent cases and analogous adjudications. A knowledge of the peculiar bearing of each case, can at present be acquired only by =suiting the works of numerous elemen tary or text writers, who, from being rigidly obliged to observe a close condensation of their materials, are necessarily compelled to class a variety of cases analogous in their leading and predo minant facts, but dissimilar in their minor details ; thus ex tracting from an accumulated mass of contradictory matter a general rule of law, without being enabled to explain and illus trate its applicability to particular facts, or to point out its lighter shades of difference when contrasted with cases posses sing an apparent similitude. hut independently of the inconvenience ever attendant upon such an unqualified classification,, another difficulty impedes the progress of the inquirer. He cannot, after the perusal of the works of a text writer, confidently depend that the author has included all the cases connected with his researches. There is no pledge that every decision shall be inserted. He gives the re sult of his investigations, but not invariably the particular ground or basis from which Isis inferences and deductions are derived. In addition to the elementary writers there is another class of publications, the Digested Indexes to the Reports, which have been long held in estimation. But all the works of this de scription are on a scale too contracted to render them of mate rial assistance, being confined either to a few lteporters, to a stated period, or to some particular Courts. Nor do they in general refer to the alterations in the law occasioned by Par. liamentary enactments, or facilitate an access to the analogous cases, or show what decisions have been affirmed, recognized, qualified, or over-ruled. They profess to be Indexes, and aim at nothing more. They are of little or no value unless the inquirer has the original Reports in his possession.— They collect the rules deducible from the judoients of the Courts, but almost uniformly exclude a statemen of the facts. They .may be described as possessing all the G ;ectionaUt characteristics of an elementary treatise, without t, Ncounte, balancing advantage of the author's sentiments, and al_ rrange. ment of the cases dtermined during any other period than that allotted to the particular Index. It is under these impressions that the work now announced for publication has been prepared ; and from the increased business of our Tribunals, and the amplified and extended re ports of their proceedings, it is presumed that an attempt to re move these obstacles to an acquirement of a competent know ledge of the Judgments of our Courts, will be found acceptable to every branch of the Profession. A concise statement of the mode in which the materials are collected and arranged, will perhaps more satisfactorily evince the expediency of the publication. In detailing the structure of the work it will be proper to.consider, lit. Its general arrange ment and principal divisions. 2dly, The internal or subordi nate arrangement of those divisions. 3dly. The manner of ab stracting or abridging the judicial determinations. I. The general arrangement will be alphabetical, practical utility being the primary obk,ct of the work. Every case will be inserted under that division, which will conduce to the most prompt and ready reference, and which will most probably oc cur to the mind either of the most experienced or unitiated member of the Profession. IL Although the principal divisions will be taken alphabeti cally, their internal arranger - vent or subordinate parts will be framed, and the materials consolidated analytically, according to the models of the most approved writers upon each particu lar subject. The cases in each subdivision of a title will be inserted chrono• logically, with the view of more eflectiially - showing and illus trating the gradual progress of our judicial polity. Where, however, a particular class of decisions consist of a variety of abstracts or abridgments, those most intimately connected will be arranged so as to render their relative application more obvious. When the same point has been determined in a se ries of cases, the one first mentioned is only abridged, and the others are referred to as confirmatory of the same principle.— To increase the value of the work, and add to its general utility, several distinct species of reference or notes will be subjoined to each decision. Ist. A reference to the different books in which the same case is reported. A reference to the cases in which the same point has been determined or affirmed. 3d. A reference to such cases or elementary writers in which the same rule or principle is recognized or adverted to. 4th. A reference to those cases which are at variance with the decision abridged, or to such as have expressly over ruled it. sth. A reference to the Acts of Parliament connected with each case. 6th. A series of copious notes connecting the cases with the present practice, and explanatory of their general effect ; com prising such principles of the law, or essence of the cases, as axe not included within the scope of the general abridgement. Thus it has been attempted to make the whole as complete as possible, so that on the one hand the present practice may be readily ascertained, whilst, on the other, the ancient adju dications will admit of an immediate access. The latter will explain, elucidate, and exemplify the former ; and the reader will have in one connected view the various modifications which the law has undergone. 111. It has been endevoured to frame the abstract of the de cisions on a plan simple, plain, and perspicuous. The Re ports themselves generally contain a copy of the pleadings, a full statement of all the facts, the argument of Counsel at length, and almost every sentence uttered by the several Judges in pronouncing their opinions. In the present publication so much only of the pleadings, the facts, and the arguments of Counsel, will be given as may be necessary to connect the facts with the decisions of the Courts; and the Judgments will be compressed into one concise statement, including the most im portant observations, unless there be a difference of opinion on the bench, in which case the individual opinions will be given seriatim. The marginal epitomes will be found to contain a concise, but perfect detail of the essence of the eases, and will be so arranged as to form distinct and connected treatises on each par. titular title or division. To obviate the objection, that an abridgment of the Reports i s not capable of being referred to with facility in consequence of the paging not corresponding with the original works, it in intended to prepare a table of parallel references, b y w hi c h means an inquirer will he enabled to discover any case with the same promptitude and facility as if he had the Report book it self in his possession: With the view of rendering the abridgment as complete a SUBSTITUTE FOR THE REPORTS as possible, and avoiding the inconvenience accruing to purchasers from the publication of new editions, it is proposed to prepare odcssional Supple ments. A list of the works comprised In the body of the abridgment is subjoined, from which it will appear that all the authentic re ports in the period allotted to this publication are included, and that many of them are extremely scarce and valuable. On the part of the Publishers no expence will be spared to bring out the work in the most regular and expeditious manner, and they pledge themselves for its final completion. It is com puted that the work will be comprised in Ten Volumes royal Bvo., the first to be published in December, 1824, and the others at regular intervals • and they will be regularly supplied by all Booksellers in the dountry as well as in London.
