ROYAL 8vo., PRICE 10s., FREE BY POST, 10s. 6D.
REPORTS of CASES in the COUNTY COURTS
included in Circuits Nos. 45 and 46. Heard and
determined by Henry James Stonor, Esq., Judge of the
said Courts. Edited by HENRY ANSELM DE COLYAR,
Esq., Barrister-at-Law.
This book amply vindicates the claim that ability, learning, and
industry are brought to bear in the County Courts upon the business
before the judges. The nature of the cases shows the character of the juris-
diction exercised, the difficulty of the points frequently raised, and the
labour and intelligence devoted to their decision. The work of editing has
been well done. It is a valuable record of what a County Court judge can
do, and, as such, is likely to be a useful instrument in any controversy
which may be impending."-Law Journal.
"It is difficult to say whether this valuable and practical work reflects
most credit upon Mr. Stonor or Mr. de Colyar. We commend the volume
to the notice of all those who are interested either in the history of the
County Courts or in the County Court practice of the present day."--Law
Times.
"This work shows the quantity and quality of the tasks accomplished by
the tribunals which have to do with more persons and more property than
all the other courts put together, and of which legislators and the public
are most imperfectly informed. We could select many cases from Mr. de
Colyar's book of interest and importance, but enough has been said to show
that his work deserves to be widely known and studied.”—Morning Post.
"Each division furnishes its list of disputes settled by the County Courts,
the great railway companies alone affording much litigious work concerning
the charge of luggage and goods consigned to their custody, he over-
crowding of carriages, and the unpunctuality of trains."- Daily Telegraph.
"Contracts, torts, railway cases, bankruptcy, and miscellaneous mark the
five parts into which this work is sub-divided. Throughout the book Mr.
de Colyar's notes are admirably to the purpose; and, thanks to the care
with which he has put its contents together, a really important addition has
been made to every well appointed law library."-Weekly Register.
"As a book of reference as well as a vade mecum the publication is a
most desirable acquisition. . . . The known painstaking character of the
decisions of the learned judge, and his long experience and sound logical
reasoning, will, we hope, insure a large and useful circulation for this
publication, in which the able author so well embodies Judge Stonor's
valuable judgments."-Surrey Advertiser.
· We have read Mr. Stonor's decisions with interest and profit. They are
full of sound law and good sense, and in one point, moreover, extremely
valuable. Of late years the interpretation of certain statutes has been
almost exclusively intrusted to the County Courts, and the tendency is to
carry that practice even farther. Upon such enactments as The Married
Women's Property Act and The Employers' Liability Act we must go to the
County Courts almost exclusively for information."-Western Daily Mercury.
