THE present volume completes the series of the Revised Reports, begun a quarter of a century ago. During their prolonged work the editor, and the learned friends for whose assistance he finally records his best thanks, have sought and found enlightenment on many points of method. For example, they did not undertake at the outset to make any corrections in reproducing the text of the cases; but the number of manifest errors, by no means confined to mechanical slips of pen or press, proved far greater than was expected, and it soon appeared that the choice lay between reprinting nonsense without remark and making the obvious emendations of the text or references with due notice to the reader. It was also found desirable, if not strictly necessary, to correct many corruptions and mistranslations in citations from Year Books and other ancient and foreign sources. It is quite probable that some blunders in the original texts have escaped notice; if so, let it be remembered that it was not in our bond to put them right. As to more substantial matters, we have included some cases not strictly within our limits, either because they are frequently cited in common-law jurisdictions or on other grounds of exceptional interest. On the other hand, we have freely reconsidered our omissions whenever we found reason to do so, and many cases have been restored by way of supplement. The grounds appear at the head of every such case, or sometimes are specially mentioned in the preface to the volume; by far the most common has been the revival by recent judicial citation of decisions which had slumbered for many years. Whatever inconvenience may be caused by the supplemental cases being republished out of their natural
