was established, consisting of the Court of Appeal and the High Court 
of Justice with its five subdivisions, namely, Queen’s Bench Division, 
Common Pleas Division, Exchequer Division, Chancery Division, and 
Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division. The ten sets were reduced 
in 1875 to six: (1) Appeal Cases, comprising all in the former Appel- 
late Series; (2) Queen’s Bench Division; (3) Common Pleas Division; 
(4) Exchequer Division; (5) Chancery Division, and (6) Probate Divi- 
sion. Each of these last five reported not only the cases of original 
jurisdiction in the particular division, but also the decisions of the 
Court of Appeal on Appeals from that division. Since 1880, when the 
Common Pleas Division and the Exchequer Division were merged in the 
Queen’s Bench Division, but four sets of reports have been published, 
namely, Appeal Cases, Queen’s or King’s Bench Division, Chancery 
Division, and Probate Division. 
Before 1865 the English reports are cited by the name of the re- 
porter; from 1865 to 1890 they are cited as Law Reports followed by 
the number of the volume and the name of the court, usually abbreviated 
thus: L.R. 5 Q.B. or L.R. 5 Q.B.D. The Appeal Cases in the House of 
Lords and Privy Council, however, are cited merely by volume number 
followed by Appeal Cases, abbreviated App. Cas. From 1891 the re- 
ports are cited by giving the year of publication, the number of the 
volume of that year, and the abbreviation of the name of the court, thus : 
L. R. 1923, 2 K.B. and 1923 App. Cas.

6. Collateral Reports. 
a. During the period before 1865, reports which had the super- 
vision of the court were called authorized; all others were 
referred to as collateral. No attempt is made here to men- 
tion them. They will be found listed in Hicks, 535-547.

rently reported cases from all courts. 
c. The Times Law Reports. These reports since 1885 have
