ENGLISH REPORTS IN LAW AND
EnVTFHV

Proposals by LIrrLE & BRowE, ll2 Washington
street, Boson, for publishing By subscription nsso
series Of Lao and Equity Reports.
THE want of some system by which the decisions
Il and judicial opinions of the several Courts Of
law and Equity in England can be more prompt
~ and cheaply furnished TO the legal profession In
this country, has long been seriously felt and ac-
knowledged. To meet similar want in England,
the Ian Journal Reports" and 1.-The JlTist,
which, together, report decisions in all the Courts IN
LdIp and Equity, within few weeks alter their
delivery, were commenced number of years
since and have met with the universal approba-
ton Of the legal profession. Their high cost how
sver has hitherto prevented their general circu-
lation in this country and their merits are as yet
but little known among US.
The subscribers propose TO republish these
ports in full as fast they appear in England and
can be received here. They will contain reports
of cases decided in the House OF Lords, the Prlvy
Council the several Courts of Equity, the Court OF
Queens Bench, the Court OF Common Pleas, the
Court of Exchequer and Exchequer Chamber the
Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts, the Court OF
Bankruptcy including also the Election cases, the
Crown Cases Reserved, and the Railway and Canal
Cases.
These reports will be published in numbers or
parts commencing with the decisions OF Michael
mas (November) term, 1850, and will be carefully
edited by member of the bar, with notes and re-
ferences to analogous American decisions.
Each number will consist Of over three hundred
pages closely printed octave, on the bestpaper and
in clear, fair type, and will contain table OF cases,
and full table of contents, thus forming COM
plete volume by itself, as we'll part OF an en-
tire series. Every alternate or second number will
be PACED consecutivey from the number imme
dately preceding, and will contain table OF cases,
and of contents 10 both, and thus form complete
volume ready for binding, of ouer sir hundred pages.
In each volume the Of the several courts will
be found arranged together, and, III point of style
and typographical execution, this series will be
fully equal to the best reports OF England or tins
country.
Itis designed to make this PERMANENT PUBL
CATION and thus establish series of English
Law and Equity Reports, which shall, in all re-
spects be far in advance of any other reprint OF
English Reports in this country, and which shall
furnish to the American lawyer the decisions Of
Westminster Hall, nearly t,oo years before they
could otherwise bo obtained and long before the pub
LEGATION Of the contemporaneous decisions OF most
of our own tribunals.
The price of this publication will be $40 for
twelve numbers, payable in advance, for the six
volumes, Handsomely and uniformly bound in law
sheep, $l2.
The parts will be sold separately, il desired, at
s each
Sings volume, bound, So %.
Parts l. and H., stitched or VOL L., bound in law

eighty eight cases, now ready for delivery.
