Il English Reports in Laio and Equity loses
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this seres will
be published only in poiumes. and the Issue If

ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English oases

there are no regular reporters, authorized by law
IA in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely private enterprise,
by private reporters. Aud il ia believed that for

the essential requisites in any Rcports-the Law
Journal and the Jurst Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late u
