Synopsis
"The History, Principles And Practice, (Ancient And Modern,) Of The Legal Remedy By Ejectment: And The Resulting Action For Mesne Profits; The Evidence, In General, Necessary To Sustain And Defend Them: With An Appendix, Illustrative Of The Subject" by Charles Runnington. This volume is a dense compilation of 17th–18th century English and Irish legal case materials, assembled as appendices to a law treatise on ejectment and related remedies. It gathers proceedings in ejectment and for mesne profits, including verdicts, judgments, writs, and appellate steps, and situates them within the feudal and manorial tenures that governed landholdings across English counties and Irish courts. Structured as a reference work, it presents full sample pleadings, verdicts, special verdicts, and writ procedures, complemented by an index of topics such as Ejectment, Mesne Profits, Seisin, Copyhold, Ancient Demesne, Forfeiture, Notice to Quit, and related subjects. The text traces the evolution of ejectment from feudal origins to modern pleadings, and it records the procedural mechanics, evidence, and remedies that governed possession, title, and recovery in early modern England and Ireland. It is aimed at lawyers and legal historians seeking classification, doctrine, and historical practice.
