Excerpt from Reports of Cases, Vol. 1: Argued and Determined in the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois
The undersigned received the appointment of Reporter on the 30th day of January, 1845, in place of J. Young Scammon, Esq., resigned. Two thirds of the term of court had expired at that date, and, consequently, he labored under a similar difficulty to that of his predecessor, not having taken notes of points made and authorities cited, and other necessary memoranda in cases previously argued. In some cases, therefore, neither the points or authorities of the counsel appear, - in others, only those of one side, although he has taken much pains to procure them.
The unusual length of many of the cases reported in this volume has necessarily precluded the insertion of any of those argued and determined beyond that particular term. The Reporter, however, confidently believes that the equally unusual importance of those included herein, will more than compensate for any deficiency in point of number and variety. The succeeding volume will contain several cases of no less importance, and is now in course of preparation for the press. The interest already manifested, and the earnest desire on the part of the profession to be in possession of them, will induce the Reporter to prosecute his labors with all possible despatch.
Grateful for the facilities afforded him by the court and counsel, under the circumstances, for rendering this volume as complete as possible, he submits it to their kind forbearance.
