SYSTEM OF PLEADING: COMPREHENDING THE MOST APPROVED PRECEDENTS and FORMS of PRACTICE; CHIEFLY CONSISTING OF SUCH AS HAVE NEVER BEFORE BEEN PRINTED: WITH AN INDEX to the PRINCIPAL WORK, INCORPORATING AND MAKING IT A CONTINUATION OF TOWNSHEND's and CORNWALL's TABLES, TO THE PRESENT TIME; AS WELL AS AN INDEX of REFERENCE to all the ANCIENT and PRINTED FOR G. G. AND J. ROBINSON, PATERNOSTER-Row. 1797. THE HE Profeffion will pleafe to obferve, that this Volume contains the Head of ASSUMPSIT with the INDEX complete, except the Pleas; although the Precedents of the Confiderations not Claffed, on Common Promifes, &c. and the Pleas in Affumpfit, with the INDEX to Pleas in Affumpfit, are poftponed to make part of the Third Volume, for the convenience of the Profeffion, to keep the Pleas and INDEX to Pleas diftinct; which Volume will alfo contain the Head of Covenant and INDEX to Covenant complete. THIS has been done in order to afford the Students and Practitioners the addition of the Form of a Count or Declaration in Affumpfit on Common Promifes and by and against particular Perfons in every poffible way that may occur in Practice; which, by perufing the INDEX and the ANALYSIS, I truft it will be thought I have well done; for I have in the INDEX separated all the Forms, by and against particular Perfons, in Indebitatus or General Affumpfit, from the Declarations on Common Promifes made by any perfon, for the ease too and convenience of the Practitioner. Ex. gr. for Fees, Fines on Admission to Copyholds, &c.; an action for the former would be brought |
