Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cases Argued and Determined in the Court, Vol. 1: For the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors, in the State of New-York
The Decisions now offered to the Public, are the Judgments of a Court, of dernier resort, and of the highest importance. 'to be acquainted with'detere minations of inferior Tribunals, would be of scarce ly any utility, if those of this were unknown. It is from hence we are to receive the Supreme Law of the land: for such its opinions'may well be term ed; because, however 'our Legislature may enact and ordain, whatever is thus enacted and ordained, is here, in almost all cases, to be expounded and enforced. It is here that the worth of the adjudica tions of every other Court, is to be ascertained. It is in this mint they receive their stamp: and ster ling value. The endeavours, therefore, of the Au thor have been directed to collect as many of the antecedent Decisions of the Court of Errors (for, thank God! It is not yet known as one for the trial of Impeachments) as he possibly could. Those now obtained will form an introductory part to the present number. So, what may be in future ao quired, will precede the Reports of the year, and though this extension of the original plan will na turally demand an increase of price, the already ex perienced liberality of the Bar is, on this point, a sufficient guaranty that the Work will not on this.
