PREFACE.

As already observed, in the Preface to the first volume of this work, it has, with a view to suit the convenience of students and others, who may not require the Forms, been considered advisable, instead of giving them by way of appendix as in the previous editions, to publish them in a separate volume.

The present volume is divided into two Parts. The first Part comprises the Forms of practical proceedings required in the conduct of a suit; and the second Part comprises all the General Orders of court issued since the publication of the previous edition of this work, including also various rules and regulations in the Registrars' and other offices, with which the practitioner should be familiar.

It is necessary to observe that, several of the Forms given in the previous editions,―among which may be included the Forms in the Masters' offices,—although,

perhaps, no longer strictly applicable, are still continued, as they will, no doubt, be found of service to the practitioner, as shewing the nature of the facts and statements necessary to be alleged in various proceedings in a suit.

Considering the numerous works already published, containing a collection of the Orders of court, the second Part may appear to many persons almost superfluous; and but for the imperfect and incomplete nature of most of those collections of Orders, this Part would have been omitted.

It has not been thought advisable to encumber the work with the various Statutes, affecting the practice of the court, which have been recently passed, as this would necessarily have extended the volume very considerably. A list of such Statutes has, however, been added, which will, no doubt, be found useful for general reference.
