LAW TIMES REPORTS. A COLLECTION OF LEADING CASES DECIDED IN THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES, AND COURTS OF LAST RESORT OF THE SEVERAL STATES. TOGETHER WITH A DIGEST OF CASES OF VALUE REPORTED IN AMERICAN LEGAL PERIODICALS DURING THE YEAR 1877. EDITED BY ROWLAND COX. "It is impoffible but in process of time, as well from the nature of things chang ing, as corruption of agents, abufes will grow up: for which reafon, the law must be kept as a garden, with frequent digging, weeding, turning, &c. That which in one age was convenient, and perhaps neceffary, in another becomes an intolerable nuifance."— ROGER NORTH. NEW SERIES.-VOLUME IV. NEW YORK: PUBLISHED BY HURD AND HOUGHTON. BOSTON: H. O.
