Tee unexpec loss which the legal profession has just sustained precludes the Reporters from dedicating this volume, as they hoped to have obtained permission to do, to the late Lord Chief Justice tindal.

Such a tribute of respect to the presiding judge of the Court recently invested with jurisdiction over a branch of the law, which may be termed new to Westminster Hall, would, it is conceived, have been an appropriate, though very humble testimonial, of the general satisfaction which the exercise of that jurisdiction has given.

The Reporters feel it might be considered presumptuous upon their part, as it certainly would be superfluous, were they to attempt to give expression to the universal regret for his Lordship's loss, or to the high estimation in which, for learning and judgment, for impartiality and urbanity, his memory will ever be held.
