hevgh never entirely neglecied, is fel- 
dom handled by men of philofephic 
views, has been treated of in a maf- 
terly manner by three writers, whofe 
works are calculated to attract the at- 
tention of’ thofe even who are net 
Jawyers by profeffieon. — Feuer Bacu

fefieny 4; 
Several Treatifes likewife were pub- 
lifhed on feparate parts of Roman and 
of the Common Lawot Germany ; and 
fome other Lawyers elucidated the

fingle provinces. In fome inftances 
their attention was directed to thefe

mode of conduéting proceffes had been
