Excerpt from The Revised Reports, Vol. 62: Being a Republication of Such Cases in the English Courts of Common Law and Equity, From the Year 1785, as Are Still of Practical Utility; 1842-1844
It will be observed that there are several Nisi Prius rulings on evidence, most of them now rather elementary. Perhaps the profession might well have dispensed with some of them; but, being reported, they could not safely be omitted.
This preface is written at Toronto, within a quarter of an hour's walk of Osgoode Hall; the writer can bear witness that the Common Law is as keenly studied and as diligently taught in the Province of Ontario as in any English-speaking jurisdiction. In one respect, indeed, the law school of Osgoode Hall is unique by reason of its intimate connexion with the practical side of the profession. It is not only a recommended but a necessary road to being called to the Bar of the Province. Our Canadian brethren do not believe that sound knowledge comes by examinations alone.
