PREFACE.

IT will be noticed, that a few cases have been inserted in this volume, taken from the MS. Reports of Mr. Justice Brevard. We regret exceedingly, that those reports were received by us at so late a period (though politely transmitted to us as soon as applied for) as to prevent us from making as exten sive use of them as might be beneficial to the profession. The cases collected by the Judge, in four volumes, have been reported with great precision and correctness, with notes containing much learning and legal information; and should we continue the present work, extensive use will be made of them, as they contain a variety of cases of the greatest importance, decided by the Constitutional Court, of which no other record remains.

NOTT & M'CORD.
