councils other than those set out in the First and Second Parts.

It was found, however, that this would add greatly to the bulk of
the volume, and the Authors have therefore, for the present,
limited the Third Part as above stated.

Care has been taken to note every decided case down to the

date of publication, and no pains have been spared to render the

Index and Tables of Statutes and Cases complete and reliable.
