PLAN OF THE WORK. To give an immediate, full, and accurate account of every important Decifion in the feveral Courts at Westminster is the primary object of this Publication; the utility of which to every one who practises the Law, and still more to those who administer it, is too obvious to be enlarged upon. To the Student alfo it will be found a fource of neceffary knowledge, and to the Private Gentleman a fund of useful information. In the course of the Work, every important object depending before the Legislature will be constantly noticed; and a particular account will be given of all Trials, Criminal or Civil, which involve any important Law point, or materially engage the public at tention. A Publication of this kind feems peculiarly proper at this time, when the Newspapers are daily giving undigested and erroneous accounts of Law Cafes, which cannot fail to perplex and mislead the Practitioner and the Student; and to betray the people, as circumstances may arife in their own concerns, into miftaken hopes and fears from the juftice of the country. It remains only to add, that this Work will be continued Monthly, and no pains or diligence fhall be wanting to render it acceptable to the Profeffion, inftructive to the Student, and ufeful to that most honourable and bencficial of all public characters, the COUNTRY MAGISTRATE. |
