ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.



vVNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
l. English Rspris in La,D and Equfy closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series VIII
be published only IN U0iWnes, and the Issue oi Sc
parate parts will be discontinued. Ii ID found that
the second part of each volume follows 80 rapidly
after the first, that the advantages OF publishing
by parts are unimportant. Each volume VIII mere
after appear once in two months in the same elze
and style heretofore, and at the snme exceed =.
!ngly low rate of So per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, either in England or IN
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions OF the English courts In Il is series
every reported Except nisi prus decsions) is
given in FULL, without condemnation or abridg-
mcnt, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication Of the English cases

there no regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series of Reports
ia there conducted solely as private enterprise,

any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct See the late case IF

points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO CASE IN ANY other
other series will be omitted in this. Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will contain
| all the reported in the Jurist and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnely's Reports in the House
| Of Lords; e. +. Moore's Reports in the Privy
| Council; the Reports of Si,nons, Hare, Beavan, De

the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man

| and Gordon in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New,
and E. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
a combination Of legal reports entirely unequalled
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series

in the annual volumes OF the United States Digest
The first six volumes will be contained in VOL V
