PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. THE former Edition of this work was a Collection of Principles only, and did not state the Cases from which those Principles were deduced. That statement is now added, and extracts are supplied from such Acts of Parliament as apply immediately to the subject. This is done in the notes, and the text continues as before, except that in some instances principles which had no authorities to support them are expunged, and others which have since been established, are introduced. Temple, 25th May, 1797. PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. THE Author of this treatise having declined, since his elevation to the Bench, to prepare a new Edition of it for the press, the present Editor, by his permission, has undertaken that task. The new matter, consisting chiefly of such decisions upon the Law of Bills and Notes, as have been madė since the publication of the second Edition, is either placed between crotchets, or referred to by figures. Nearly the whole of the section relating to the Proof of Bills and Notes under a Commission of Bankruptcy is new; in this, the Editor has endeavoured to confine himself to such cases and statutes as apply exclusively to the subject, or to such as were necessary for their explanation.
