pJrta, Of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived, Tncy wlI! thus have ready access to
the dec sior5 Of courts sitting at the fountain
head e the law, whence have been derived, for the
most part, the several systemic, more less nod-
fed, daily administered by the Of this coun
try. And however modified these systems may
be, 1t D., manife%+ that these decisions must shed
great right upon the investigation OF most Of the
