Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Halsted's Digest of the Law of Evidence: Embracing the Rules Established by Writers of Acknowledged Authority, and Affirmed by the Decisions of the Federal Courts, and the Courts of All the States, Down to the Present Time
At the solicitation Of some partial friends, I resolved to prepare from my notes the following compilation, and cannot but h0pe that the judge as well as the counsellor will find it a convenient and useful compend of the law Of evidence. I have carefully examined the reports Of all the States up to the present time, and the reader will here find a reference to the latest adjudications. As the Object of this book is to indicate a decision upon controverted questions; I have carefully avoided giving an opinion, simply referring to the reported case, or to the rule as laid down in works Of acknowledged authority.
