In Orr's heirs v. Ir win's heirs and devisees, 2 Carolina Law Re- 

 pository 465, TAYLOR, C. J., delivering the opinion of the court, 

 says : " To these [Englisli] cases may be added a decision made by

 in point of authority, if not superior, to any of the British decisions, 

 from the luminous and conclusive reasoning on which that upright and 

 truly estimable Judgo founds it clarum et vene.rabile nomen." He 

 then makes an extract of several pages consecutively, from the report 

 of Farley v. Skipper, in Wythe, (1st edition,) 135, (2d edition,) 254 $ 

 and concludes his opinion in these words : " We have transcribed thus 

 largely from the work of the Chancellor, because it is not in every 

 library, and the discussion of the question, which is new in this court, 

 being the most able and copious we have anywhere met with, cannot 

 fail to be instructive to the student, and acceptable to the practitioner, 

 who will both be disposed to allow that the excellence of the matter 

 atones for the length of the extract/ 7 Laus laudari a laudato viro.
