Sessions Cases Adjudged in the Court of King's Bench: From the Latter End of Queen Anne's Reign ...

Front matter

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

Preface To The Original Edition

'T^HK following Cases were the Collection of an eminent Barrister deceased ; and as most of them are entirely new, so it is apprehended, from the usefulness of the matter about which they chiefly treat, namely the Settlements relating to the Poor, they will be of great benefit; which is apparent from the general approbation treatises of this sort have met with ; and it is not doubted but that this work will merit regard ; the Cases being taken more fully than former Collections of this ^nd have been, and the most eminent of the law of the present age concerned in the greatest part of them ;'of whon^we humbly ask pardon, if the determinations and arguments fall short of that beauty and energy of expression, with which they were graced when delivered ; being sensible that in most instances the substance is only retained ; but we have kept close to our Author's Manuscript, without any alteration or addition, except in the Table of the Principal Matter added at the end of the Book, and the Contents of each Case set forth in the Margin,* that the reader at once may be apprized of the Subject Matter thereof; which was done with a view to render the work as complete and usefiil as possible ; and it is hoped that the defects and imperfections therein will meet with excuse, as we are deprived of the assistance of the author to introduce them to the public ; to whom if they shall appear useful, the Editor will have the satisfaction of attaining the end desired by the publication.
