Leading Cases Of The Court Of Civil Appeals Of The State Of Tennessee Vol 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from Leading Cases of the Court of Civil Appeals of the State of Tennessee, Vol. 3 According to promise we are issuing the third of our yearly series of reports. We are convinced from reports of the profession in the State that they are subserving a useful purpose, and that they should be continued. It has been our endeavor to discriminate in our selection of cases, so as to afford the lawyers and trial judges of the State our latest expressions on questions of practice and of common law rights. It must not be understood, however, that any of these volumes have or will be confined to these subjects. We have in this volume, as in the preceding ones, inserted a few cases that were not taken to the Supreme Court Our reasons for so doing were stated in the preface to our last volume. It is not expected that the whole of the law or the law in a perfected state can be attained in one bound. Experience has confirmed the wisdom and practice of calling the attention of the profession to adjudged cases of novelty, either in subject-matter or application, and let them examine their merits and ascertain their possibilities for the attainment of justice. Hence our reason for inserting some of these cases, but our main purpose is to insert such cases only as are affirmed by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court in the case of King v. Cox, 126 Term., 533, have announced views respecting peremptory instructions that were contrary to those entertained by this Court, as expressed in Railroad v. Crutcher, and Aizen-shtatt v. Mayer, reported in the first volume at pages 231 and 805 respectively. We note this for the purpose of complying with the announcement made in our first volume that we would pursue this course. I again acknowledge my very great obligations for the advice, assistance and concurrence of my associates on the bench.
