THE NEW PRACTICE OF THE COMMON LAW. BY J. PATERSON, M.A., H. MACNAMARA, BARRISTERS-AT-LAW. VOL. I. LAW TIMES OFFICE: 29, ESSEX STREET, STRAND, LONDON. THIS work was commenced soon after the numerous and important changes in the practice of the Superior Courts, which had been effected by the Common Law Procedure Acts, and the Rules of Court framed under them. Several statutes and rules as well as decisions having appeared since the earlier parts were published, it has been found necessary to notice a few alterations and additions in a supplementary chapter of Addenda. These alterations, however, have been embodied in the Index, and all the authorities have been brought up to the present time. The object of the Authors was to produce a work clear, short, and useful, and confined as much as possible to the practice as it now is. This result has been sought to be chiefly attained by a proper arrangement of the matter, and by entirely omitting all the obsolete branches of practice, or retaining only so much of the former practice as remains part of the new, whether under the same or a different name.
