Excerpt from Reports of Cases Decided by the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in the Court of Nisi Prius at Philadelphia, and Also in the Supreme Court: With Notes and References to Recent Decisions Many of the following cases have appeared in the va rious law periodicals of the day, but they are so scattered through a number of volumes as to be almost inaccessible to a majority of the profession. The Reporter therefore concluded that a republication of those cases. With others decided by the same learned judges, would be acceptable to the bar; the more especially as many of them contain points of great interest, and all of them, from the distin guished ability and profound learning of the judges by whom they were determined, must be entitled, if not to the weight of conclusive authorities, yet, at least, to the respect and credit which has ever been accorded to the opinions of the judges of our court of last resort.
