Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Supplemental Digest of the Decisions of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky: 1853-1867, Embracing 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th Ben, Monroe; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Metcalfe; 1st and 2nd Duval
IN the preparation of this work, I have labored to render it valuable to the courts and bar, as a correct indication of the decisions of the court on the various branches of the law since 1853. Each case has been carefully read and studied, and the points decided, have, whenever it could be done consistently with brevity, been given in the exact language of the court; and it is hoped it will be found not merely an index, but a safe and reliable book of reference for the every-day use of the profession. Great care has been taken to state all the facts on which each syllabus rests; as without this, digests are often misleading, and sometimes wholly unreliable. By a careful analytic subdivision of each separate subject, it is hoped the exact point the reader may desire to consult will be readily found, without the necessity of reading much that is foreign to the particular matter in hand. When a rule of law or practice, once recognized by the court, has been modified or changed by subsequent legislation or rulings of the court, the fact is referred to in foot-notes, indicating the statute or decision in conflict with the former rule.
