A Selection Of Leading Cases In Equity Vol 1 Of 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from A Selection Leading Cases in Equity, Vol. 1 of 2 The plan of this suggested by the very able volumes of the late Mr. John William Smith, which contain a selection of Leading Cases principally taken from the Common Law Report; and it was thought that it might be useful to the profession to have, within a small compass, a selection of Leading Cases decided in Courts of Equity. Each of the cases chosen will, it is believed be found either to be frequently referred to in practice or to enunciate clearly, for the first time, some important principle of equity. A chronological arrangement of the cases has not been observed, because it has been in the present, and may be in a subsequent volume, found useful to print together cases on the same subject, decided at different periods. The notes, or abstracts prefixed to the cases, have occasionally, when inaccurate or defective, been altered; and in some instances, the arguments and judgement in the same case are taken from different reports. Thus, in the well-known case of Fox v. Mackreth, the arguments are taken from Brown's Chancery Cases and the judgment from Cox's Report; and in the celebrated case of Garth v. Cotton (a complete report of which is not to be found else where), the arguments are taken from two different places in Vesey Senior's Reports, the judgmnet from Dicken's Reports, and the decrees from Atkyn's Reports.
