The Exchequer Reports: Reports Of Cases Argued And Determined In The Courts Of Exchequer & Exchequer Chamber. Easter Term, 25 Vict. To Trinity Vacation, 29 Vict.. Both Inclusive. 862-865 — Edwin Tyrrell Hurlstone. This volume presents a curated collection of civil decisions from the English Court of Exchequer in the mid-19th century. It offers concise case summaries and judgments across topics such as property disputes, contracts, wills, customs, and shipping, illustrating how judges approached issues of title, rent, procedure, and commercial practice. The selections include Evans V. Robins (whether a described garden rent affects a freehold ground rent and how misdescription alters the contract), Curlewis V. Broad (service and endorsement duties under the Common Law Procedure Act 1852), Thorpe V. Thorpe (will construction and contingent remainders), Cox V. Mayor of London (extraterritoriality of local jurisdiction), Sheen V. Bumpstead (admissibility of reputation evidence in fraud contexts), Taylor V. Oram (licensing under refreshment laws), Fredericks V. Howie (theatre as tenement), and Bastifell V. Lloyd alongside Lawson V. Burness (demurrage and port practice). The text also surveys wider themes such as interpretation of old wills, rent definitions, the limits of local customs, admissibility of extrinsic evidence, and the interaction of statutory regimes with common-law doctrine, providing a window into 19th-century legal reasoning in property, contract, and shipping law.
