Book excerpt: Excerpt from A System of the Shipping and Navigation Laws of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 2: And of the Laws Relative to Merchant Ships and Seamen; And Maritime Contracts, to Which Is Added, an Appendix of Acts of Parliament Forms In the determination of all these cases, your decisions, Sir, and the principles upon which they proceeded, so united the equity of the Civil Courts with the necessary exactness and precision of the Common Law, that when any of your decrees, as sometimes happened, were afterwards incidentally brought before the Courts at Westminster, I know not a single instance in which they were disputed by the Judges; whilst I remember many, in which the late Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench (a man whom we must all lament, and never more than in the present times, ) expressed in his strongest language, and most characteristic manner, his warmest and entire concurrence in your decisions, and the principles which guided them.
