ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.
THE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
Il English Reports IN Lon end Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only IN uoitfmes and the issue of
parate parts will be discontinued. II is found that
the second part Of each volume follows 30 rapidly
AFTER the hrst, that the advantages of publishing
by parts are unim, ,ortant Each volume will here
aIter appear once in two months, in the same size
ana atyle as heretofore, and at the same exceed
| lngiy low rate OF 81 Pervolume to permanent SUBJ
scribera.
The profession need not be reminded that this 10
the only series of Reports either in England or IN
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts In TIL series
every reported Except nst rtus declslons) IS
| given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
1 accurate republication of the English cases;
1t may be proper also to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law
as in this country, but that each series OF Reports
is there conducted solely private enterprise,
by private reporters And it is believed that for
PRoMPrNEss, ACcun AcY, cLKARNEss, land BREvITY-
| the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal, and the Jurst Series are not surpassed py
any rival series IL England, and they have oHen
been found more correct. See hhe iate case %
Croftn 0s Beale, Is Eng Rep, 4OS) tphert the com.
paratiue accuracy Of The Lao Journal Reports aud
the contempor aneous reports of Manning f. Gran
ger, as to the true pleddings IN former case, toas
directly inroiUed. In thafca JeTuis, me ChiJ Jus
tice of the Common Pleas, Observed: at Is clear that
the plea IN Sison Kidman, reported IN Man.
Grang. $40, is not correct. The plea, as rs re-
ported in the Lao Journal Reports, is just asmy bro
Their Ma,le supposes' In addition TO the foregoing
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 cases in the Jurist and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
| of Lords; E. F. Moore's Reports in the Priyy
Council; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Beavan, De
| Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
| the Courts Of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hur lstonc
| and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New,
and f. W. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son. and the Ecclesiastical Reports OF Robertson
combination of legal reports entirely unequalled
IN any country.
Additional value will aso be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter they will be digested
in the annual volumes of the United States D gest.
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol. V.
Of the Annual Digest now in press
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
nexed recommendations.
