1835.

In retiring from these Reports, I beg to express to the Bench, to the Bar, and to the Profession generally, my deep gratitude for the courtesy and kindness I have experienced in the course of a Work which, in its outset, was surrounded with difficulties, and in its progress attended with anxiety and labour. In the execution of it, I have had the good fortune to be assisted by gentlemen, in whose knowledge and vigilant attention, I have had the most perfect confidence; and I trust that we may, without presumption, entertain the belief, that our joint exertions have not been without value in illustrating and maturing the system of Scottish Jurisprudence.

PATRICK SHAW.
