Book excerpt: Excerpt from Digested Index Reported Cases of Lower Canada: Contained in the Reports of Pyke, Stuart, Revue De Legislation, Law Reporter, Lower Canada Reports, Lower Canada Jurist, Stuart's Vice-Admiralty Cases and Canada Appeals Brought Down to January, 1864, to Which Is Added an Appendix Comprising Perrault's Pr Reporting is perhaps the most valuable portion of legal literature but its usefulness for all ordinary purposes becomes impaired, if the reports are not carefully indexed and arranged, from time to time, as their bulk increases. Five years ago our reported cases having swelled in the ten preceding years from five to twenty-one volumes, I began to prepare an index for my own use. Since then I have added the contents Of the later volumes, as they appeared, down to the end of 1863 and in part liquidation of the debt claimed by the great English Chancellor, I now Offer the compilation thus made, to my brethren of the legal profession, in the hope that, amidst the toil of practice, it may relieve them from the necessity of many a weary and Often un successful search. In publishing this Index, I am not blind to the many defects of its classification; but after having re-arranged it four times in mann script and twice in type, I feel persuaded that it is impossible, within the limits Of one volume Of a reasonable size and cost, so to dispose the matter as not to give ample room for easy criticism in this respect. However, I have endeavoured as far as possible to obviate any incoa venience which may arise from imperfect classification by adding three tables - one of reference, a second of the names Of parties, and a third of the principle words Of the Index wherever they occur. The last table, so far as I know, is a novelty in works of this class, but I think it will be found' the most useful of the three.
