Synopsis

A Complete System Of Pleading: Comprehending The Most Approved Precedents And Forms Of Practice : Chiefly Consisting Of Such As Have Never Before Been Printed : With An Index To The Principal Work, Incorporating And Making It A Continuation Of Townshend's And Cornwall's Tables, To The Present by John Wentworth. This 1799 legal precedent manual targets students and practitioners of English law, focusing on pleading in Trespass actions and presenting extensive templates for Declaration, Plea, Replication, Joinder, and Rejoinder across subheads. It catalogs formal pleadings across TRESPASS to PERSONS, TRESPASS to PERSONAL PROPERTY, and TRESPASS to LAND or SALT WORKS, including declarations for ADULTERY and other personal wrongs, along with corresponding pleas and procedural sequences. Notable features include archaic phrasing and Latin terms, detailed party-role scenarios across multiple counties and courts, and a structural emphasis on Declaration—Plea—Replication—Rejoinder with devices like NEW ASSIGNMENT and LICENCE. The work serves as a reference catalog of pleading templates, framing how to frame, argue, and counter trespass claims in late 18th-century England.
