Excerpt from Digested Index Reported Cases of Lower Canada: Contained in the Reports of Pyke, Stuart, Revue De Legislation, Law Reporter, Lower Canada Reports, Lower Canada Jurist, Stuart"s Vice-Admiralty Cases and Canada Appeals Brought Down to January, 1864, to Which Is Added an Appendix Comprising Perrault"s Pr
Indeed it is to be regretted that, in determining the jurisprudence of the country, recourse had not been oftener had to the records of the older courts, and even now it may not be too late to enquire how our predecessors practised and administered the law. In England the Year Books have never been despised, and in France now studious men are beginning to perceive that wisdom is not of any one age, and that no people can with impunity ignore its history and its traditions. Are our olim unworthy of a thought?
I need hardly say that the Index comprises the cases in Pyke"s Reports, Stuart"s Reports, Stuart"s Vice-Admiralty Cases, La Revue de Legislation et de Jurisprudence, the Law Reporter, the Lower Canada Reports, and the Lower Canada Jurist. I have, however, omitted the Bankrupt cases, which had only interest under the operation of the old Act. Some cases which are not reported are mentioned in the Index,, and I have also added a few notes, the last of which gives the judgments in appeal which affect the cases referred to in the Index, and which are reported in Vol. 8 of the L. C. Jurist, and Vol. 14 of the L. C. Reports.
