ᎪᏟᎢ,

THE BILLS OF EXCHANGE ACT.

1882.

AN ACT TO CODIFY THE LAW RELATING TO BILLS OF EXCHANGE, CHEQUES, AND PROMISSORY NOTES.

With Explanatory Notes and Enver,

BY

M. D. CHALMERS, Esq., M.A.,
BARRISTER-AT-LAW (DRAFTSMAN OF THE BILL).

"Lawyers will find it a most convenient and portable edition of a most important Statute."Law Journal. In Stiff Boards, 2s. 6d. In Cloth, 3s. 6d.

"To say that Mr. Chalmers is the draftsman of the Act is almost to guarantee that his notes explaining the sections or the reasons for their becoming law are absolutely correct. The index is satisfactory, so far as we have tested it. We may add that the book is beautifully printed."Law Times.

SECOND EDITION.

THE NEW BILL'S OF SALE ACT.

THE BILLS OF SALE ACTS,
1878 and 1882,

WITH COPIOUS NOTES, INDEX AND PRECEDENTS, SHOWING THE
ALTERATION IN THE LAW UNDER THE NEW ACT,

BY

MICHAEL G. GUIRY, Esq., LL.B.

(OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW.)

"There is one feature for which the author deserves to be rewarded with the proceeds of a large sale of his book-the references are given to all the reports. We can recommend the volume as a most useful one to take into court or chambers: and in County Courts, where libraries are rather scarce, the book will be of the greatest value."-Law Times.

EXTRACT FROM INTRODUCTION,

"An attempt is made in the following pages to furnish the legal profession with a useful hand-book in offices and courts where a law library is not at hand. The writer has found in practice that although quotations from text-books may be faithful representations of the expressions of learned judges. yet, since the ipsissima verba of the judgments are not given, courts refuse to act upon the authority of such quotations. As far as possible, therefore, the facts of cases are here given, together with such portions of judgments as are relevant; and it is thereby hoped that the book may be more useful to practitioners than if it contained, in a sentence, the result of each case."

IN CLOTH, 5s.; or for Cash with Order, 4s.
