Riassunto

Excerpt from The Practice in Civil Actions and Proceedings in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 2: In the Courts of Common Pleas for the County of Philadelphia and in the Courts of the United States

This work, originally prepared by francis J. Troubat and wil liam W. Haly, two distinguished and learned members Of the Phila delphia Bar, was presented to the Profession in the year 1825, in one thin octave volume; a second volume appeared in 1829. It immedi ately took high rank as a professional text-book; and probably no gentleman has since been admitted to our Bar, who has not drawn from its pages his first knowledge Of the intricacies of Practice. In 1837, the same learned gentlemen favored the profession with a second edition, in two volumes. Shortly after the publication of this edition, Mr. Troubat retired from active practice, and Mr. Haly, at the time of his sudden and fearful death, on the 27th of December 1851, in the destructive fire, at Sixth and Chestnut streets, in the City of Phila delphia, had made great progress in the preparation of a third edition. The materials collected by Mr. Haly were placed in the hands of Dr. Francis wharton, the well-known legal writer, and by him the third edition was prepared for the press. This edition was enriched by the insertion of the manuscript notes of decisions of the present Chief Justice sharswood, then President Judge Of the District Court of Philadelphia. These valuable cases have been retained in the present edition, with the exception of a small number, which have been subsequently overruled, or rendered obsolete by legislation. Dr. Wharton'8 edition was published in 1853. The fourth edition, which appeared in the year 1867, was edited by the late asa I. Fish, Esq.
