Eutered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1854, by R. D. & J. H HANDY. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the District of Ohio. ON 11 1914 PREFACE. With the present number is completed the 1st volume of "Handy's Reports." The editors ask no peculiar favor from the profession for the work, but expect it to stand or fall as it may be found intrinsically to deserve. Upon the adoption of the Code in the State of Ohio, all the old landmarks of practice being swept away by one fell swoop, great and universal uncertainty existed as to the forms of practice and pleading; and as the Superior Court of Cincinnati was newly established, and the people had been discreet enough to place upon the bench three of its ablest lawyers, it was the universal desire of the Bar in the City that these decisions should be published, as numerous questions of practice would daily arise before this Court, and the practice under the Code in this way be in some measure settled. We have endeavored to gratify this desire, and the 1st Vol. is now before the profession; and, it is expected that Vol. 2d will be out before the close of the year. The book contains some typographical errors, but not more, it is believed, than is ordinarily found in first prints; many of these are so obvious as to render it unnecessary to point them out, and others not so patent will be found in the Errata.
