ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.



TINE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
4 English Reports IN Lato and Equity closes
With the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only an coines, aud the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued. II Is found that
the second part Of each volume follows rapidly
after the first, that the advantages of publishing
~ parts are unmporant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore and at the exceed
ingly low rate OF So per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this ia
the only series OF Reports, either in England IN
this country, which attempts TO contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts. In Il ia series

accurate republication of the English cases.
1t may be proper '!so to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
MS in this country, but that each series of Reports
is there conducted solely a private enterprise,
by private reporters. Aud it ia believed that for

The essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurst Series, are not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late 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 cases in the Jurist and Law Jour

Mcssrs. LITTLE BRowN: In the prompt repu5
LEGATION OF the English Reports in Law and
Equity" you tender to the profession most I'm
portant service. The FIRST volume of these Reports
includes cases decided in the House of lords
Privy Council, Courts Of Equity and Common Law,
from and after Michaemas Term, 1885, also
Grown Cases Reserved and Cases in the Ecclc-
classical and Admiralty Courts" And the second

These Reports, like all other works which pro-
cecd from your press, are executed in n most sub.
stantal manner and do credit TO the enterprise of
the publishers. l became a subscriber for them az
soon as they were found with the booksellers in the

SEDE, AT LEAST In TIL. COUNTRY, ALL OTHER ESQ
LIsH REPORTS OF LATE DECISIONS.
