Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Pleading Under the Code of Civil Procedure, Designed for All the Code States: With Forms and Directions
In 1846 the state of New York adopted a new constitution, which contained a provision for the appointment of three commissioners, whose duty it shall be to revise, reform, simplify and abridge the rules and practice of the courts of record of this state, and report them to the Legislature, etc.
The commissioners appointed were learned men in the broad sense of the term; David Dudley Field, then as now a great lawyer, was a prominent member of that commission.
