Synopsis

Forms Of Practice, Or, American Precedents In Personal And Real Actions: Interspersed With Annotations by Benjamin Lynde Oliver. This nineteenth?century legal reference compiles practical pleadings for real property and related actions in New England, with emphasis on Massachusetts and Maine and references to New Hampshire. It provides numerous boilerplate forms, model counts, and procedural notes for Writs of Entry, Writs of Right, and other real actions, alongside extensive treatment of mortgages, dower and curtesy, libel for divorce, partition, and related procedures. The work is a practitioner?oriented compendium for clerks and lawyers practicing property, mortgage, and family law, foregrounding statutory supplements (Massachusetts Revised Statutes and related codes) and common?law principles, and presenting sample language and counts used in that era. It encompasses accrual rules, venue considerations, party status, and the structure of various actions (real, personal, and mixed), including covenants, torts, and debt, with guidance on proper pleading, joinder, and damages in a form?driven framework for Massachusetts and nearby jurisdictions.
