Synopsis

A Digest Of The Cases Decided And Reported In The Supreme Court Of Judicature, The Court Of Chancery, And The Court For The Correction Of Errors Of The State Of New York: From 799 To 823, With Supplement by William Johnson. This dense 19th?century legal reference compiles decisions and extracts governing costs, covenants, deeds, court procedures, and related topics across New York and federal practice. As a two?volume digest covering decisions from 1799 to 1823, it presents doctrinal summaries, indexed by topic, with cross references to authorities and case notes. The work emphasizes the distinction between law and equity, preserves original headings, and records the Judges’ language to state general principles, track when points are overruled, and show how points of practice evolve through appeals and adjournments. Core subjects include costs and taxation, covenants, deeds, court structure and jurisdiction, pleading and procedure, damages, debts and judgments, and related topics such as attachments, execution, and remedies. It serves as a historical resource for researchers of New York jurisprudence, illustrating how property, contracts, and civil procedure were interpreted across multiple courts in the early republic.
