PREFACE.

IN reading for the Final Examination for Solicitors, I, in common with many other students, found great difficulty in determining what authorities to read on the subjects of Probate and Divorce.

The ordinary text-books require more time and attention than a student of average ability can afford to give them, the Examination now covering so large an area and embracing so many subjects. I have therefore compiled the following pages, in the hope of being able to present to Students, in a readable form, a concise Epitome of Probate and Divorce Law, sufficient for the purposes of this Examination. I have given references throughout, to to cases and authorities, to enable the reader to acquire further information when desirable.
