Book excerpt: Excerpt from Students Cases: Illustrative of All Branches of the Law It is believed that this work makes a new departure in the books provided for students under the title of "Leading" or "Selected" Cases. The method hitherto employed is that of giving a leading case and appending to it a dissertation upon various matters that appear to the author to be germane to the principle of the leading case itself. To follow this course would be to give a repetition of the matter contained in the text-books to which this work on leading cases is intended to be a companion volume. One result of the form in which leading cases have hitherto been published is that to reach such leading cases as are necessary the student has to peruse a number of more or less bulky volumes, one dealing with common law cases, another with equity cases, and so forth. Even then the volumes now available do not cover the entire ground of the student's reading for any of the ordinary examinations, such as the Solicitors' or the Bar Final. The method adopted in the present work is to set out the facts of the leading or some illustrative case in sufficient detail to give it actuality and vividness, and then to give the substance of the judgment. All such comment as the student will find in his text-book on the subject is omitted. Each case is preceded by a concise statement of the principle decided, and is occasionally followed by an elucidatory note.
