Book Description
Excerpt from Reports of Cases Decided in the High Court of Chancery of Maryland, Vol. 1 ON receiving the appointment of Chancellor, I determined to make every effort to acquire a competent' knowledge of the peculiar principles and practice of the Court of Chancery of Maryland, to which my attention had been so rarely drawn, and for which I had had, for many years in the judicial stations I previously held, so little use. Upon inquiry I soon found, that any thing like an accurate know ledge of those peculiarities was only to be gathered from the records themselves; to which I therefore resorted, and after a careful perusal noted the course of proceeding, and occasionally made short digests of such cases as appeared most likely to be useful thereafter. In this way I collected a considerable mass of information, which has greatly facilitated my official labours.
