THIS work was originally intended, as stated by the Author in his Preface, to be merely a collection of decisions upon the Lands Clauses Consolidation Acts, and not an elaborate treatise. In preparing a Second Edition I have retained the original form of the work, but I have found it advisable to rearrange the decisions under the various sections, and in the case of the Notes to the more important sections I have attempted, by introducing suitable sub-divisions, to facilitate reference to the authorities. Only in this way did it seem possible to give a coherent view of the law which has accumulated round such sections, for instance, as Section 68 (Injuriously Affecting Lands), Section 69 (Application of Purchase Money), or Section 80 (Costs where Money is paid into Court). Moreover, the statement of the cases has been largely altered, those of lesser importance being abridged and numerous new ones added, so that in the result the work has been practically re-written. |
