Excerpt from The Revised Reports, Vol. 53: 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; Supplemental Cases, 1785-1840
The present volume consists of cases which were in the first instance omitted from the Revised Reports, but which it has now been decided to preserve. The most frequent and obvious reason for doing so has been recent judicial citation. References to these citations, with occasional further explanation, will be found noted at the beginning of the respective cases. Although there can be no doubt that it is now proper to reprint such cases for reference, the Editors must not be taken to admit that the original omission was always or necessarily wrong; it was in every case founded on the absence, at the time, of judicial or other apparently sufficient evidence that the omitted decision was still of practical utility.
