Book Description

Excerpt from Cases of Hindu Law: Before H. M. Supreme Court, During the First Thirty Years of the Court's Establishment; In Continuation of the Second Edition of Decisions of the Supreme Court &C. By T. C. Morton, Esq. The length and importance of the cases are the editor's motive and apology for giving them as an instalment. Not only are the ear lier decisions less known, but they have a peculiar value; in that they embrace the ten years of Sir Wm. Jones' judicial labour, and that they furnish the best evidence of the manner in which the able judges (with a bar not less able) who were first called upon to administer the Hindu law of the Supreme Court, construed and dealt with many prominent doctrines of that law.
