PREFACE.

In presenting this Volume of the Crown Cases Reserved to the Profession, we have gratefully to acknowledge the kindness and courtesy of all the learned Judges with whom we have had occasion to communicate respecting any of the Cases herein, Reported. To Lord CAMPBELL we feel peculiarly indebted for the valuable assistance which we have constantly received from his Lordship, and for the kind manner in which that assistance has always been afforded.
