Book excerpt: Excerpt from Butterworths' Yearly Digest of Reported Cases for the Year 1909: Being the Second Annual Supplement of Butterworths' Ten Years' Digest, and Containing the Cases Decided in the Supreme and Other Courts; Including a Copious Selection of Reported Cases Decided in the Irish and Scotch Courts IN the preparation of this Second Annual Supplement to butterworths' ten years' digest the general scheme of classification on which that Digest was based has again been followed throughout. In a very few instances it has been found advisable to add a new sub-heading or to extend the scope Of an old one by a small verbal alteration. For example, two or three new sub-headings have been inserted under the title Master and Servant. But it will be remembered that the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906, had been in force but a Short time when the ten years' digest was published, and cases, without precedent, arising out of the provisions of that Act had not then been decided. Such new sub-headings rendered necessary by the effect of fresh legislation, will not, it is believed, affect the utility of the classification already adopted, since they are merely added or fitted into the former framework with a view to keeping the Digest up-to-date, and facilitating reference. To avoid inconvenience many decisions have been, where possible, divided or repeated under different headings. But atten tion has been paid to a request for more numerous cross-references and it is hoped that in the present Volume they will be found sufficient. In this connection it may be useful to point out that where a number appears after a reference, the reader is referred to a case in the present Volume, but where no number appears, either the reference is a general one calling attention to a cognate heading under a title where a case sought for may be found, or the reference is, as it were, a strand in the whole fabric Of cross-reference on which the ten years' digest and its continuations have been planned. The Editor thanks those who have made suggestions or pointed out errors during the Quarterly growth of this Volume.
