Judgments of the Privy Council on Appeals from India, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Judgments Of The Privy Council On Appeals From India, Vol. 3 The Decisions Of The Judicial Committee Of Her MajestyS Privy Council, In Cases Heard On Appeal From The Courts Of British India, Are At Present In A Great Measure Unknown To And Beyond The Reach Of A Great Majority Of The Judges Of Our Courts. From The Year 1836 Regular Reports Of The Decisions On Indian Appeals Have Been Published By Mr. Moore. But The Earlier Volumes Of This Series Are Not To Be Procured Without Great Difficulty (The First Volume Alone, I Believe, Not Being Procurable For Even Rs. While The High Price Of All Of Them Is An Obstacle To Their Wide Circulation. In 1855 The Privy Council First Began To Print Their Indian. Judgments, And I Have Been Furnished With The Whole Series Of These Printed Judgments From That Time To The Presents I Have Also Been Furnished With The Earlier Judgments Commencing From 1831 To 1834, As Published In What Is Known As The Folio Edition Of The Privy Council Cases, A Still More Inaccessible Work Than MooreS Reports. From These Materials I Propose To Reprint The Whole Of The Judgments In A Single Volume, With Carefully Prepared Marginal Notes, And A Copious Index, So That, In A Convenient Form For Reference, The Judgments Of The Highest Tribunal Will Be Brought Within Reach Of Every Local Court. By The Folio Edition Of The Privy Council Cases Above Referred To, Were Meant The Printed Cases In Appeals Which Were Bound Up Together With The Judgments. A Complete Set Of These Was Kept Up In The Library Of The Late Sudder Court At Calcutta. I May Also Here Mention That Previous To Mr. MoS Reports, The Earlier Judgments Of The Privy Council From 1829 To 1836 Were Reported By Mr. Knapp. About The Publisher Forgotten Books Publishes Hundreds Of Thousands Of Rare And Classic Books.
