BY HERBERT REED, OF THE INNER TEMPLE, ONE OF HER MAJESTY'S COUNSEL. ed 10 LONDON: WATERLOW BROS. & LAYTON, LIMITED, PRINTERS, BIRCHIN LANE, AND BROKEN WHARF 42, UPPER THAMES STREET, E.C. Rec. July 30, 1900. PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION. IT is the object of the following pages to present a short statement of the law of bills of sale, as affected by the Bills of Sale Acts, 1878, 1882, 1890 and 1891. The Acts will be found printed together, as they are to be so construed. Under each section are collected such cases as involve points of practical importance, and in the interest of those at a distance from reports, a full extract of material facts has been given in dealing with recent decisions. A reference to contemporaneous reports will be found in the first citation of each authority. In the Appendix will be found the Statutes, Orders, and Rules, relating to bills of sale, together with precedents. To these have been added extracts from bills of sale hitherto contested under section nine, shewing the present judicial views of accordance with the scheduled form. |
