Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Homicide: Including a Complete History of the Proceedings in Finding and Trying an Indictment Therefor; Together With a Chapter on Defences to Homicide
Lawyers' Reports Annotated; the American Law Register; the Albany Law Journal; the Central Law Journal; &c.1 This was done at no small outlay, of both time and money, in order to relieve the busy lawyer from the labor and vexation of search ing through his reporters and reports to ascertain whether a case cited is to be found therein. It is thought that this double citation will be assistful to the profession and meet with their approval. TO those who may think the double citations are a waste of both time and space, the author would suggest that, in his humble Opinion, it is better to err on the side Of fulness than on that Of brevity, as may be said Of those who cite from the current reporters of the Wests' system by Simply giving the title of the case, the name of the court rendering the decision, and the date on which the decision was handed down, leaving the busy lawyer, who wishes to refer to the case, to wade at random through his reporters.
For the sake of facilitating reference, the authorities are arranged by states in alphabetical order, and the latest decision in each state given first; the federal authorities follow the states, the reports of the Supreme Court being given first Of the federal cases, and then the district and circuit court reports, arranged alphabetically by the name of the reporter, ending with the Federal Reporter. The English and Canadian cases follow the federal, and the text-books, where any are cited, are the last in the foot-note where it is unbroken by a see or a compare.
