Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practice and Pleading in Civil Actions and Proceedings at Law in All the Courts of Massachusettts: With a Chapter on Equity Jurisdiction and Practice Under the Statute of 1883, Chapter 223
The recent revision of the Statutes of Massachusetts created a need of a new work on practice in civil ao tions in the courts of the State. In the following pages I have endeavored to supply that want.
A work on practice must necessarily treat of a great number of subjects, and consequently, in a treatise limited to a single volume, cannot be exhaustive upon all. The subjects considered in this work, though numerous, are such as strictly belong to a work on practice, and are treated in it with special reference to their application to practice in the courts.
N o pains have been spared to bring the matter within as small a compass as was consistent With the object and purpose of the work. Consequently I have not unnecessarily encumbered it with common forms of process in general use, but have included in it only such forms of process and procedure as may not otherwise be easily attainable by members of the bar.
I have endeavored to embody in the work the rules of practice in our courts, as contained in the statutes of the State and in the rules and decisions of the courts at the present time, not omitting such matters of nu written law in relation to practice as may be useful to the young practitioner.
