Excerpt from A Digest of All the Reported Cases, Both in Law and Equity, Vol. 1 of 3: Determined in the Courts of North Carolina, From the Earliest Period to the Present Year; Together With a Table of the Names of the Cases This Digest has been prepared at the request, and mainly for the use, of the Bench and Bar of North Carolina; though it is hoped that it may not be with out its value to the members of the Profession in other States, In the plan and execution of the work, the Author has had more regard to practical utility than to logical accuracy. Hence, in arranging the divisions and subdivisions of the various titles embraced in it, he has endeavored to place each abstract, or point decided, under the head where a seeker would be most likely to look for it. There are, however, very many points which may rightly be put under either of two or more different heads, and as to the proper distribution of them opinions may very well differ. In adopting the usual plan to obviate this difficulty by making references from one subject to another, the Author hopes that, by the number, variety and minuteness of his references, he has made a successful search a matter of easy attainment. The work is divided into two parts, of which the first, in two volumes, contains abstracts of the law, and the second, in one volume, of the equity cases. In this ar rangement, the present Digest differs from those of Hawks and Iredell, while, in embracing all the reported deci sions made by the courts of this State from the earliest period to the present year, it differs from that of Jones. In this work, the law is separated from the equity reports, and the reader must bear in mind that there are many questions which may arise and be decided either in a court of law, or a court of equity, such, for instance.
