Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Historical Treatise on the Practice of the Court of Chancery of the State of New-York: Containing All the Proceedings of a Suit, as Well in the Court of Chancery, as in the Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors
The incapacity of the assemblies in the formation of laws and regulations for the' government of this court was equally palpable, and from hence arose an early introduction of English practice and forms, which have been generally used and perpetuated, as far as our lo cal situation and institutions would permit, till the time of the Revolution, when this court was duly adopted under the constitution of this state, and a Chancellor appointed, who holds his office during good behaviour, or until he arrives at the age of sixty years.
