Excerpt from A Treatise on the Civil Jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace in the State of New York, Vol. 1 This revision of Cowen's Treatise has been undertaken to adapt the work to the change in the practice, produced by the adoption of the Code of Civil Procedure by the Legislature of this State, at its last session, and to revise and annotate the text upon the general subjects treated, as the various and numerous cases, decided since the last revision, seemed to require. The original work needs no commendation. It has been a stand ard authority for many years, and has been deservedly popular on account of its terseness and clearness of statement, condensing much valuable information in the briefest possible space. The endeavor of the present editors has been to thoroughly revise the work, making such changes in the text, and adding notes upon the general subjects treated of, as the later decisions upon the various questions required.
