ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS


TINE FIRST YEAR Of the publication OF the
l. English Reports in Lalo and Eqnlg closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series VIII
be published only in uolumss, and the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued. 1t 10 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 Will here
after appear once in two months in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingy low rate of So per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that THE is
the only series OF Reports, either In England or IN
hs country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions OF ALL the English courts. In Il 10 series
every reported case (except nis prius decsions IS
given in FULL, without condemnation or abridg-
ment and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
It may be proper $50 to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters authorized by law,
as iii this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that Tor
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, oLEARHEss, and BREviTv-
the essential requisites in any Rcports-the Law
Journal and the Jurst Serie7, are not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct See the late case Of
Crofts Beale, 6 Eng. Rep, 4OS,) tvhers The
paraire accuracy Of the Lao Journal Reports. and
ger, as to the true pleadings in a former case pas
directly inuolped. In that case Jsyuis. The Chit jus
tice Of the Common Pleas, Observed: IN is clear at
the plea IN Sison Us. Kidman, ar reported in Man.
O. OIU, u NOT COVeCS IHe pea, as u ~ re
ported in the Lao Journal Reports, is just my bro.
Tier Mauie supposes In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they viii
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; F. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of Sinons, Hare, Bcavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Wesby, Hurlstone
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
combination of legal reports entirely unequalled
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter they will be digestod
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest
The first six volumcs will be contained in Vol V
of the Annual Digest now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
| mex ed recommendations.

MEMORIAL.
ME II.
To The Senate and House Of Reprssentires Of

To The Senate and House Of Rpresentires Of
The United SiGieS:
Your Msmorialists ask for liberal
grant of public land 10 secure the construc-
ton Of Rail Road from Lafayette, Indi-
ana, by the way of Peoria, Illinois, and
Burlington, Iowa, to the Missouri River
near the mouth of Platte River.
The road will pass throughthe heart Of
the finest agricultural region of the west
The southern one third Of Iowa--through
which it will run centrally two
thirds of the population Of The whole State.
The portion OF Illinois and Indiana through
which its course lies is unsurpassed for
agricultural capabilities by any portion Of
the west.
1t will be more easily constructed than
any road of equal length in the United
States. With slight exceptions it passes
through prairie region with level or
gently Endulating surface with only three
streams of any magnitude 10 cross inthe
distance Of more than five hundred
miles.
1t will connect with many o!her impor-
tant roads. Among others the great Ill-
Eois Central Rail Road and its Chicago
branch, will place il in communication
with The North and the South along the
Mississippi river-as well as with the
great Lakes. AT Lafayette il will con-
meet with a system of roads extending to
indianapolis, Madison and Cincinnati and
pectiyely to Charleston in South Caro-
lima.
From Lafayette TO the Missouri the
road will almost coincide with parallel
OF latitude. Destiny seems clearly TO
have marked out prolongation OF the
route from Lafayette eastward near the
same parallel of latitude and along the
ridge dividing the waters which fall into
the Lakes from those flowing into the Ohio
connection at Wheeling with the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road aud at Pitts
burgh or farther west with that leading
to Philadelphia. It will thus furnish the
nearest routes not only from the cities
Just named but also from New York and
Boston TO the Missouri river.
This whole road will pass through an
inland country where it is most needed
where its profits will be greatest and
tnC SfCot aiNS.s '" III
neither interfere with its course nor com
pete for its business.
It reaches the western limit Of state
jurisdiction in exactly the right direction
TO furnish the straightest and best route
across the continent. Up the valley Of
the Plat.e--lhrough the South Pass in the
Mountains, and along the emigrant track,
which experience has shown TO be the
nearest and best route from the Atlantic
to the Pacific Ocean.
In view of all these advantages, and
especially as furnishing so very .consid-
cradle portion of the needful connection
between the remote members Of the Uni
on (present and prospective your mem
orialists regard this road as eminently
entitled to the encouragement and foster
ing aid Of the federal government and ex-
press an earnest hope that Congress viii
act accordingly.
Circulate and forrord TO your member Of
congress.
