Excerpt from Reports of Cases of Controverted Elections, Before Committees of the House of Commons, in the Fourteenth Parliament of the United Kingdom, Vol. 1: And of Cases Upon Appeal From the Decisions of Revising Barristers in the Court of Common Pleas, From Michaelmas Term, 1843, to Easter Term, 1846, Both Inclusive
Tee unexpec loss which the legal profession has just sustained precludes the Reporters from dedicating this volume, as they hoped to have obtained permission to do, to the late Lord Chief Justice tindal.
Such a tribute of respect to the presiding judge of the Court recently invested with jurisdiction over a branch of the law, which may be termed new to Westminster Hall, would, it is conceived, have been an appropriate, though very humble testimonial, of the general satisfaction which the exercise of that jurisdiction has given.
The Reporters feel it might be considered presumptuous upon their part, as it certainly would be superfluous, were they to attempt to give expression to the universal regret for his Lordship's loss, or to the high estimation in which, for learning and judgment, for impartiality and urbanity, his memory will ever be held.

This book explores the decisions of the Court of Common Pleas under statute 6 Vict. c. 18, in cases of election and franchise disputes brought before it on appeal from revising barristers in the 1842â"1846 period. It delves into the complexities of the Reform Act of 1832, particularly sections 20, 25, and 27, offering detailed analysis of the legal reasoning in each case study and its implications for the franchise. The author dissects arguments and judgments, clarifying the legal principles at stake concerning the nature of a "building," the value of property, and the rights of leaseholders to vote.
