The New South Wales Law Reports, 1800-1900 was written and published by the New South Wales Supreme Court. This court is the highest state court in New South Wales--any cases appealed to this court would be referred out of the country to the High Court of Australia. The New South Wales Supreme Court consists of forty-eight judges, and includes the position of Chief Justice of New South Wales, as well as the President of the Court of Appeal, the Chief Judge in Equity, the Chief Judge in Common Law, and nine Judges of Appeal. The book begins by listing all the judges and the law officers during the period comprised in this volume, followed by a comprehensive listing of all major cases during 1880-1900. These cases are sorted into various categories: cases at law; cases on equity; and cases of divorce, ecclesiastical, and vice-admiralty cases. For each case, the text takes an in-depth look at the details, the motions, the rulings, and any follow-up. The text ends with a complete index intended to guide any lay reader through the incredibly specific legal terminology in the book. The New South Wales Law Reports, 1800-1900 is an interesting read for anyone interested in law as it provides a unique and first hand insight into the process of law in this Australian protectorate as portrayed by the Supreme Court itself. This book would also be interesting for anyone who wanted to learn more about the legal and cultural heritage of New South Wales. Lastly, this book is a compelling read for anyone intrigued by history or historic law cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
