Excerpt from The General Orders, and Statutes, Relating to the Practice, Pleading, and Jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery for Upper Canada: With Copious Notes, Compiled From the English Reports and Containing a Summary of Every Reported Canadian Decision Thereon, and a Book of Forms
It is not without a considerable degree of diflidence, and some degree of apprehension, that We venture to intrude ourselves upon the notice of the profession at so early a period of our professional career. With the exception of a work by Mr. T. W. Taylor, published as Taylor's Orders, in 1860, in which he collected the orders of court then in force, and of which he has, since the announcement of this work, issued a second edition, no work has yet appeared upon the practice of the Court of Chancery in Upper Canada. The Acts and Orders relating to the jurisdiction and practice of the court, have, up to the present time, been scattered and difficult to be procured. They have never been consolidated and arranged in a single volume. It is true that there are numerous ex isting treatises published in England on Chancery Practice, and although, on the one hand, they are approved as indicating the practice of the court, yet, on the other hand, a very large proportion of the commentary is in applicable to the proceedings of our own court.
The object of the present voliune is to give all the orders of the court and to consolidate them, to set out all the acts relating to its jurisdiction, and in immediate connection therewith to offer an analysis of decisions thereon, serving to interpret, or at any rate to explain, the same, and to shew at a glance the construction which each order and act has received.
