PREFACE.

In this Edition I have endeavoured to bring the subject of Letters Patent up to date. Recent decisions before the Courts and the Law Officers have cleared up so many important but hitherto obscure points in the Law and Practice that the 1889 Edition of this work has become incomplete and unreliable. I have had the advantage of the assistance of the Author on many points of difficulty, and I trust that it will be found that the result of my labours is as reasonably free from error and imperfection as a legal text book is expected

to be.

NEW COURT, TEMPLE.
