Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Alphabetical Digest and Index Appended of About 1, 800 Reported Written Reasons of Decisions of the Several Courts of Justice in British Guiana, From 1856 to 31st December, 1906: And of the Statute Laws of the Colony of British Guiana, Comprising the Resolutions of the States General, A. D. 1774, and All Subsequent Statutes Up to 31st December, 1906
When I came to this Colony from the neighbouring Colony of Dutch Guiana, in 1893, and had Signed articles with my now late uncle, Dr. B. E. C. Belmonte, m.a., LL.D. (leyden), Advocate, then practising in the Courts of this Colony, I learnt in the course of my study that there were up to that time - with the exception of the few hereinafter mentioned - no systematical Law Reports or Digest of reported written decisions of the several Courts of Justice of this Colony.
Besides the study of the theoretical knowledge of the procedure here prevailing, I was also advised and strongly recommended by my said tutor to undertake the study of the practical part of the said procedure by reading the written reasons of decisions of the Courts in cases here decided, so far as they were reported and could be obtained.
