Synopsis

Excerpt from A Compendium of Commission Cases<br/><br/>In the preface to the second edition of this work readers were reminded that m'a'i prim and county court cases are not regarded as authorities in courts of law. The object of the Compendium, it was added, was to furnish a guide to auctioneers and estate agents, to give them an opportunity of huding a case which might be useful and instructive as an illustration of the law, though it could not claim the dignity of a precedent. The book, in fine, attempts to teach laymen by ex ample. It could only be of casual use to lawyers. It is somewhat strange, in view of the intimation above mentioned, that several correspondents should have been at the pains to point out to the author that a large proportion of the cases given were not such as could be quoted to a judge or judges. But it is sub mitted that for members of the profession for which they are intended they have their proper use. As a matter of fact, though one critic writes that he looks upon it as furnishing entertaining reading only, there are really no disputes as to commission of which illustrations do not appear in the following pages, and illustrations furnished by firms of the highest status, who, one may be quite sure, had the best possible advice before going to law. The Compendium, then, we hope, may be fairly described as a practical guide for practical men.
