Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Cases Adjudged and Determined in the Supreme Court of Judicature and Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors, of the State of New York, Vol. 2: With Copious Notes and References, Tables of Citations, &C.; Containing Caine's Reports, 3 Volumes; And Caine's Cases in Error, 2 Volumes Second edition of the following reports being called for, they are now offered to the profession with some alterations, and, it is hoped, with some amendments also. To re move every fault, by casting the whole work in a new mould, has not been attempted. There are therefore imperfections in the origi nal execution which still remain. These were the necessary results of a mistaken deference to the statement of the cases as furnished on the arguments, and a fear of expunging from the opinions of the bench, any part of what had been publicly delivered. Encouraged by legislative patronage, and a permission to exercise his own discretion, the author, in the second volume, began a little to dress the cases in his own language, and to discard from the opinions of the judges the statement of facts, by which the were, when delivered, in general preceded. T is therefore believed, that in the second and third volumes the defects of the first have been, for the most part, avoided; and, it is presumed, that even in the first, they are now in a great degree corrected.
