Excerpt from Notes of Cases, Extracted From the Manuscripts of Sir Samuel Romilly, Vol. 1

Among the voluminous legal notes and papers left by Sir Samuel Romilly, are eight duodecimo volumes, entitled Notes of Cases in Equity. These volumes consist of reports of cases, the number of which 18 above eight hundred; some of the cases are reported very shortly, others at considerable length. In addition there are references to a ninth volume, which cannot now be found. Notwithstanding the title, one entire volume (the fourth), and parts of others, are composed of cases in the Courts of Common Law. The greater part of the Notes appear to have been made by Sir S. Romilly himself, and relate to cases decided between Michaelmas, 1779, and the end of the year 1794. Some cases are given ex relatione, and those in the third volume are of earlier date, and seem to be copies of or taken from other manuscripts. These Reports were liberally contri buted by Sir S. Romilly, and many are to be found verbatim in different collections of Reports and other work s - ofien without acknowledgment. In particular, nearly all the cases relating to tithes are so to be found in Gwillim's work on Tithes.

In consequence of the length of time since the cases were decided, a large number have lost much of their interest, but many of them appeared to me to be likely to be useful to the Profession. Some of these I have accordingly selected, and I have ventured to add some comments of my own, on the general prin ciples of law which they illustrate. The marginal notes are, in many cases, taken from the indexes of subject matter made by Sir S.
