PKEFACE
Peobably no part of our judicial system has been more
completely revolutionized by the Judicature Acts than
that which relates to Pleading ; and this being the case,
it is certainly somewhat remarkable that amid the multi-
tude of valuable treatises that have appeared upon the
new Practice, no work has yet been published upon the
subject of Pleading. This fact suggested to the authors
the idea of the book which is now submitted to the
Profession.
The utility of a volume of Precedents of Pleadings can
scarcely be questioned. The old works on the subject are
now of comparatively little value owing to the radical
changes in the substance as well as in the form of
j)leadings ; while a conspicuous proof of the continuing
necessity for and value of Precedents is found in the
fact that the framers of the Judicature Acts have them-
selves in Appendix C. acknowledged the want by there
essaying in some measure to supply it. Some twenty-
seven forms will be found in this Appendix ; but it is
obvious tliat as they necessarily have reference to only
a few causes of action, they are but a very partial help
to the pleader.
The object of the present work is to supply precedents
793SS,.
VI PREFACE.
of the more common form of pleadings in every important
kind of action tried in wliat may still be called the
Common Law Courts.
The various pleadings that appear in it have in nearly
every case been settled by counsel of standing at the Bar,
and form part of the record in cases that have been carried
on up to trial or actually tried smce the Judicature Acts
came into operation.
Several of the pleadings are taken from the reports ;
but this source of information was necessarily limited,
and the authors are largely indebted to the coui'tes}'^ of
several of the Judges, the Associates and other officers
connected with the Courts, to their brethren of the Bar,
and to several eminent firms of SoHcitors, for the forms
which make up the body of the work, and which have
been selected with great care from the abundant materials
placed at their disposal.
It has seemed to the authors a considerable advantage
to be enabled thus to produce a work composed of plead-
ings which have been drawn under a sense of responsi-
bility in cases which have actually arisen, and which in
their nature and facts may be taken as fairly representa-
tive of the class of cases that are continuall}' arising in
practice. And besides, such pleadings possess the addi-
tional value of having passed the adverse criticism of
opposing counsel, and in some cases the ordeal of a
contest at Judges' Chambers or in Court.
The authors, however, have not been content to take
any pleadings on trust, no matter by whom settled ; but
have themselves, in the light of the latest decisions, exer-
PREFACE. Vll
cised an active though cautious discretion in exchidiug
or correcting any pleading which was clearty erroneous
or imperfect.
Nearly the fii-st hundred pages of the book are taken
up with a treatise, as exhaustive as the means at the
authors' command would admit, upon the subject of Plead-
ing, including in it that of Parties, under the new system.
All. the new rules and the decisions upon them have been
carefully collated; and it is hoped that this mass of
matter, scattered, as will be seen, over a number of
reports, and never before collected in one view, will be
found of use to the pleader.
Numerous notes have been appended to the various
headings under which the pleadings are arranged, and in
these notes the object has been to present a brief outline
of the law relating to the particular kind of action with
which the pleading in question is concerned, and especially
to exhibit in a clear light' those parts of the law which
ought to be present to the mind of the pleader. The
scope of the work has not allowed the authors to attempt
a complete exposition of the substantive law on any par-
ticular subject. Theii' object has not been to do this ;
but rather to make a selection of matter which seemed to
them likely to be most useful in practice.
It will be noticed that in classifying the pleadings the
authors have adopted an alphabetical arrangement, that
they have not made the common division into Contracts
and Torts, and that they have grouped the statements of
defence, &.C., along with and under the same head as the
statements of claim. It has seemed to them that in
viii PREFACE.
adopting this course, while considerable economy of
space is secured, a practical advantage is gained. It
enables any one using the book the more readily to fiiid
the particular precedent of which he is in search; and
when he has found it, he will frequently have before
him in one view a complete set of pleadings on a given
subject, instead of having to search in different parts of
the book for defences adapted to claims, and replies to
defences. The plan has the additional advantage that it
has enabled the authors to give all the notes bearing on
each form of action compactly arranged in one place, and
thus saves the practitioner the trouble of looking for
the particular matter he wants through several parts of
the work.
The authors would take this opportunity of tendering
their thanks to their frieijd Mr. W. T. Waite, of Gray's
Inn, who has lent them cordial and valuable assistance in
the present undertaking.

PKEFACE
Peobably no part of our judicial system has been more
completely revolutionized by the Judicature Acts than
that which relates to Pleading ; and this being the case,
it is certainly somewhat remarkable that amid the multi-
tude of valuable treatises that have appeared upon the
new Practice, no work has yet been published upon the
subject of Pleading. This fact suggested to the authors
the idea of the book which is now submitted to the
Profession.
The utility of a volume of Precedents of Pleadings can
scarcely be questioned. The old works on the subject are
now of comparatively little value owing to the radical
changes in the substance as well as in the form of
j)leadings ; while a conspicuous proof of the continuing
necessity for and value of Precedents is found in the
fact that the framers of the Judicature Acts have them-
selves in Appendix C. acknowledged the want by there
essaying in some measure to supply it. Some twenty-
seven forms will be found in this Appendix ; but it is
obvious tliat as they necessarily have reference to only
a few causes of action, they are but a very partial help
to the pleader.
The object of the present work is to supply precedents
793SS,.
VI PREFACE.
of the more common form of pleadings in every important
kind of action tried in wliat may still be called the
Common Law Courts.
The various pleadings that appear in it have in nearly
every case been settled by counsel of standing at the Bar,
and form part of the record in cases that have been carried
on up to trial or actually tried smce the Judicature Acts
came into operation.
Several of the pleadings are taken from the reports ;
but this source of information was necessarily limited,
and the authors are largely indebted to the coui'tes}'^ of
several of the Judges, the Associates and other officers
connected with the Courts, to their brethren of the Bar,
and to several eminent firms of SoHcitors, for the forms
which make up the body of the work, and which have
been selected with great care from the abundant materials
placed at their disposal.
It has seemed to the authors a considerable advantage
to be enabled thus to produce a work composed of plead-
ings which have been drawn under a sense of responsi-
bility in cases which have actually arisen, and which in
their nature and facts may be taken as fairly representa-
tive of the class of cases that are continuall}' arising in
practice. And besides, such pleadings possess the addi-
tional value of having passed the adverse criticism of
opposing counsel, and in some cases the ordeal of a
contest at Judges' Chambers or in Court.
The authors, however, have not been content to take
any pleadings on trust, no matter by whom settled ; but
have themselves, in the light of the latest decisions, exer-
PREFACE. Vll
cised an active though cautious discretion in exchidiug
or correcting any pleading which was clearty erroneous
or imperfect.
Nearly the fii-st hundred pages of the book are taken
up with a treatise, as exhaustive as the means at the
authors' command would admit, upon the subject of Plead-
ing, including in it that of Parties, under the new system.
All. the new rules and the decisions upon them have been
carefully collated; and it is hoped that this mass of
matter, scattered, as will be seen, over a number of
reports, and never before collected in one view, will be
found of use to the pleader.
Numerous notes have been appended to the various
headings under which the pleadings are arranged, and in
these notes the object has been to present a brief outline
of the law relating to the particular kind of action with
which the pleading in question is concerned, and especially
to exhibit in a clear light' those parts of the law which
ought to be present to the mind of the pleader. The
scope of the work has not allowed the authors to attempt
a complete exposition of the substantive law on any par-
ticular subject. Theii' object has not been to do this ;
but rather to make a selection of matter which seemed to
them likely to be most useful in practice.
It will be noticed that in classifying the pleadings the
authors have adopted an alphabetical arrangement, that
they have not made the common division into Contracts
and Torts, and that they have grouped the statements of
defence, &.C., along with and under the same head as the
statements of claim. It has seemed to them that in
viii PREFACE.
adopting this course, while considerable economy of
space is secured, a practical advantage is gained. It
enables any one using the book the more readily to fiiid
the particular precedent of which he is in search; and
when he has found it, he will frequently have before
him in one view a complete set of pleadings on a given
subject, instead of having to search in different parts of
the book for defences adapted to claims, and replies to
defences. The plan has the additional advantage that it
has enabled the authors to give all the notes bearing on
each form of action compactly arranged in one place, and
thus saves the practitioner the trouble of looking for
the particular matter he wants through several parts of
the work.
The authors would take this opportunity of tendering
their thanks to their frieijd Mr. W. T. Waite, of Gray's
Inn, who has lent them cordial and valuable assistance in
the present undertaking.
