PREFACE.

This volume is a reprint of the cases decided by the state courts of Ohio, found in the Weekly Law Gazette, Volumes 2, 3, 4 and 5, published at Cincinnati, from 1872 to 1887; three volumes of Daily Law and Bank Bulletin, 1857-59, preceding the Gazette, and the weekly edition considered as volume one of that publication; thirty-four volumes of American Law Register, published at Philadelphia, 1853-85; and five volumes of Ohio Law Journal, published at Columbus, 1880 84. The forty-six original volumes are compressed into one reprint, as all editorial, correspondence, cases decided in other states, and out-of-date matter, in the periodicals as first issued, have been omitted.

This volume is the third of a series of reprints embracing the Western Law Journal, Western Law Monthly, Weekly Law Gazette, Law and Bank Bulletin, American Law Register, Ohio Law Journal, Cleveland Law Record, Cleveland Law Reporter, American Law Record, Weekly Law Bulletin, and Circuit Court Reports, the republication of which has been undertaken and carried on at large expense. These reprints, with the current volumes of Ohio Decisions, form a library which embraces all the Ohio case law emanating from courts inferior to the Supreme, except what is found in five volumes of the Cincinnati Superior Court Reports.

Without this series no Ohio Library is complete. As many of the original volumes have been out of print for a long time, and copies are scarcely obtainable at any price, and many of the cases have been acted upon by higher courts, it has been thought that an annotated reprint of these volumes was now called for.

As citations to nearly all of these authorities are found in the different editions of the Walker and Bates' and Bates' Ohio Digest, and in Welch's Index Digest, and come constantly under the eye of every judge and attorney who is looking up Ohio judicial precedents, it is believed the bar will consider our adventure a desirable one, and patronize it liberally.

The reprint cases for the series are a full and faithful transcript of the originals. No case of an Ohio state court has been omitted, or abridged in the least, and no note or comment has been left out.
