These two very compact volumes impress
us, after deliberate examination, as books
of very high value 10 the lawyer practicing
in Justices Courts in California, and to
Justices ofthe Peace the work is invaluable.
Mr.. Cowoery-who has embodied in the
work the researches of thirty years-has
simply exhausted the subject, and that too
in style SO lucid that misconception of
the law by any who accept this guide
would appear 10 be wholly OUT of the
question. II covers the whole ground,
pleading, practice and forms, in both civil
and criminal cases. and is adapted to all the
States and Territories of our Pacific coast.
Il gives the statutes and very explicit forms
under them, referring distinctly TO all the
Codes and revision of statutes IN all the
States and Territories of the coast, with
special forms for each jurisdiction. We are
Lot aware that any other work of this
character has attempted TO cover SO wide a
field. Since the authors preface modestly
and accurately sets forth the scope of the
WORK, We quote from it freely
This work is designed to give full information
as TO the law and practice in Courts of Justices
of the Peace in the Pacific States and Territ0-
rles, as determined by the statues and the de-
cisions OF Courts of last resort.
The statutes of California which have been
followed TO a very large extent in all the States
and Territories of the extreme West are given
either IN substance or in the exact phraseology
OF the Codes IN the text of this treatise, and the
variations of the statutes of other States and
Territories are carefully stated in the notes.
The arrangement of the Codes could not
however, be followed in a justices treatise, as
they are for the most part arranged with refer
ence TO practice i'll the higher Courts stating
here and there that particular sections are APP
plicable to justices Courts while other large

and consideration of the entire body of the law

far the general law is applica lie to Justices
Courts. Matters which are far removed from
each other. or scattered through various por-
tons of the Codes, are brought here together in
logical and convenient relation to each other.

equally applicable TO all Courts and it is
thought that these chapters viii be found more
