Preface to the Thirteenth Edition.

IN no former edition of this work have greater alterations been required than in the present. The important Conveyancing Acts of 1881 and 1882, the Bills of Sale Amendment Act, 1882, the Settled Land Act, 1882, and the Married Women's Property Act, 1882, as also the New Rules of Court, have all come into operation since our last edition was published, and we have carefully amended, to the best of our ability, the former answers to meet the altered state of the law.

If, as is probable, we have overlooked some minor points, or put a wrong construction on some of the new enactments, communications are requested for the benefit of future editions.
