Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Vol. 6: Sitting in General Term, From Its Organization in 1863 to November 19, 1868 (Including Also a Few Special Term Cases) From the organization of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in 1863 to the date of the first case reported in Mr. Justice Mac Arthur's Reports, elapsed a period of about ten years, during which time no re ported decisions of that Court were ever published: After much labor and diligent 'search I have succeeded in gathering from various sources quite a number of the more important of its decisions during that period. About half of these will be found in this volume. Another which I hope soon to publish Will contain the remain der. These two volumes will consummate my efforts to fill as far as possible this gap of ten years and, thereby, to furnish a continuous series of reported decisions of the Supreme Court of the District from the date of its organization to the present day. Still another hiatus of ten years in the case law of the District of Columbia occurs, however, between the dates of the last decision in 5th Cranch and the first decision in the present volume. This, also, I had thought to fill; but after thoroughly investigating the matter I feel satisfied that there is no possibility of doing so; the decisions of that period were mostly oral, and the few that were written have, with two or three exceptions, been lost.
