Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practice and Pleading in Personal Actions in the Courts of Massachusetts
This volume is the result of an attempt to furnish to the members of the Massachusetts bar a manual containing the ordinary rules, forms, and methods of practice in civil proceedings, together with notes and decisions upon the important and constantly recurring questions of pleading that arise in the conduct of causes in the courts of law.
The design of the first part of the work is to present a general idea of the courts and their jurisdiction, and the civil processes issuing therefrom, and to trace the stages of an ordinary civil action from its inception to final judgment.
The second part is made up of notes and decisions on what is commonly called the Practice Act, General Statutes, chapter one hundred twenty-nine, - and, it is believed, contains references to every Massachusetts case of any importance bearing upon the act.
The forms contained in the work have been care fully selected, and those having any immediate connec tion with the subjects treated of in the body of the book are inserted in their places in the text.
