A COLLECTION OF CASES DECIDED IN THE COURT OF REVIEW OF British Guiana, FROM 1856 TO 1872, EDITED BY J. ALVES, F. E. DAMPIER & BENSON MAXWELL, ESQUIRES, IN N offering to the Judicial Bench, the Bar, the Magistrates; and the Public this collection of Review Cases, the Editors feel bound to apologize for the delay which has unavoidably occurred in its publication. The necessity of careful vision, in order to ensure accuracy, must be their excuse. super It is believed that the present collection contains all the cases of any real value to officers concerned in the administration or execution of the Law as it at present stands. Many cases decided under repealed or obsolete Ordinances have been reported, where it has been thought that the decisions on them might be valuable in assisting to construe correctly subsequent or analogous Ordinances, a use to which cases on repealed statutes are frequently put in England. At the same time many cases have been omitted in which no general principle of law has been at issue, and of which the publication would only involve unnecessary bulk. The Editors have to express their cordial thanks to the Chief Justice and the Judges, to the members of the Bar, the Registrars, and their brother Magistrates for the kind encouragement' received by them in carrying out their scheme of publishing this work, a work which it is hoped may be of as much use in its present form as it has been to the Editors while yet unprinted.
