 EAST'S REPORTS. 



REPORTS OF CASES 



ADJUDGED AND DETERMINED 



IN THE 



COUET OF KING^S BENCH. 



WITH 



TABLES or THE NAMES OF THE CASES, AND PRINCIPAL MATTERS. 



BY EDWARD HYDE EAST, Esq., 



or the Inner Temple, Barrister at Law. 



EDITED, WITH NOTES AND REFERENCES, 

 Br G. M. WHARTON, ESQ., 



OF THE PHlLArr.LPHIA BAR. 



In eight large Royal Octavo volumes, bound in best Law sheep, raised bands and 



double titles. 

 PRICE TO SUBSCRIBERS, ONLY TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. 



In this edition of East, the sixteen volumes of the former edition have been 

 compressed into eight — two volumes in one throughout— -but nothing has been 

 omitted; the entire work will be found with the notes of Mr. Wharton added 

 to those of Mr. Day. The great reduction of price ffrom $72, the price of the 

 last edition, to $25, the subscription price of this) togetner with the improvement 

 in appearance, will, it is trusted, procure for it a ready sale. 



Twenty-seven years have elapsed since the publication of the last American 

 Edition of East's Reports by Mr. Day, and the work has become exceedingly 

 scarce. This is the more to be regretted, as the great value of these Reports, 

 arising from the variety and importance of the subjects considered in them>, and 

 the fulness of the decisions on the subjects of Mercantile Law, renders them ab- 

 solutely necessary to the American Lawyer. The judgments of Lord Kenyon 

 and Lord Ellenborough, on all practical and commercial points, are of the highest 

 authority, and the volumes which contain them should form part of every well- 

 selected law library. 



These considerations have induced the publishers to have a new and improved 

 edition prepared, to supply this obvious deficiency. The editor, G. M. Wharton, 

 Esq., has added brief annotations on the leading Cases of the Reports, with refe- 

 rence to the more important decisions upon similar points in the principal com- 

 mercial states of the Union. At the head of each case will be found a reference 

 to the volume and paging of that case in the English edition ; and the original 

 Indexes and Tables of Cases have been arranged to refer to the volumes of the 

 present edition. 



The work may be had of the Publishers, or of Little & Btown, Boston; Gould, 

 Banks & Co., New York; Derby Bradley & Co., Cincinnati, O,; and the prin- 

 cipal Booksellers throughout the IJnion.

THEIR POWERS, DUTIES, PRIVILEGES AND LIABILITIES; 

 By JAMES HILL, Esq., 



or THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER AT LAW. 



Edited by FRANCIS J. TROUBAT, ESQ., 



OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAH. 



There is no work at present before the profession occupying the position of this ; and embracingr 

 so widely and completely the duties and responsibilities of Trustees, and the bearing of the Law of 

 Trusts ; and thus, necessarily, involving the consideration of the whole Law of Real and Personal 

 Property.
