Excerpt from The Revised Reports, Vol. 88: Being a Republication of Such Cases in the English Courts of Common Law and Equity, for the Year 1785, as Are Still of Practical Utility, 1850-1852
At p. 58 of this volume Lord Brougham censures the former bad practice of the judges giving no reasons for their Opinions upon cases referred to them by the Court of Chancery. Lord Brougham ascribes this to the offence taken by the learned judges at critical observations of Lord Thurlow's, whereas a learned correspondent who wrote to us on the subject within the last two years (see Preface to 79 R. R.) thought Lord Eldon was the offender. Such general acquaintance as we have with Lord Brougham's accuracy does not lead us to assume that our correspondent was mistaken the matter, however, is of no importance.
