Synopsis
Questions And Answers On Law: Alphabetically Arranged. With References To The Most Approved Authorities by Asa Kinne presents a dense mid-19th-century American legal digest, here in Vol. III, organized as an alphabetical compendium of questions and answers drawing on British and U.S. authorities. This portion reprints and discusses topics such as Abatement, Arrest, and Assignment, along with extensive treatment of civil procedure, contracts, property, family law, equity, and criminal matters from the 1840s and earlier. It favors doctrinal summaries and citational depth over narrative, with numerous authorities, case citations, and references to statutes. The work illuminates procedural mechanics, jurisdiction, and creditor remedies in a cross-border legal landscape that blends English common-law roots with American development. Aimed at practitioners and judges, it offers rules, tests, and precedents on topics from pleadings and new-trial procedures to wills, estates, and torts, and encompasses evidence, custody, maritime, and tax questions within an equity-inflected framework. The extract demonstrates the era’s method of organizing legal knowledge alphabetically for reference and study.
