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 impossible but in process of time, as well from the nature of things changing, as corruption of agents, abuses will grow up: for which reason, the law mus be kept as a garden, with frequent digging, weeding, turning, &c. That which in one age was convenient, and perhaps necesary, in another becomes an intolerable nuisance.” — Roger North. NEW SERIES. – VOLUME IV. NEW YORK: 1877. |
