Excerpt from A Digest of Indian Law Cases, Vol. 1 of 6: Containing High Court Reports, 1862-1900, and Privy Council Reports of Appeals From India, 1836-1900, With an Index of Cases; Compiled Under the Orders of the Government of India; A-C Ince the issue of the first Digest, which included the decisions of the High Courts and Privy Council down to 1886, the Author brought out three separate volumes containing the cases from 1887 -1889, 1890 - 1893, and 1894 - 1897, respectively. The present edition is a consolidation of the previous Digests, with the addition of the rulings from 1898 - 1900 inclusive. Its bulk has consequently increased to a very considerable extent. A reference to the Table of Reports will show that the number of volumes of Reports digested is 24-1, as compared with 166 volumes digested in the first edition. The first four numbers of the Calcutta Weekly Notes have also been incorporated, as frequent reference is made to them in the Calcutta High Court. An idea of the increase of the size of this edition may be gained from a comparison of the number of volumes and columns of the two editions. Whereas the first Digest comprised five volumes including the Table of Cases, the present one is made up of five volumes of the Digest alone, and has a separate volume for the Table of Cases. In the former publication, Volume I contained the letters A - D and consisted of columns; the present Volume I contains A C only, and runs into columns. In order to keep down the size of the. Volumes, the Author has been obliged in several places to omit lists of cases from cross references, thereby avoiding repetition, without, however, impairing the value of the work. The scheme and arrangement of the Digest remains the same, but Act XXVI of 1867, which was put under the Stamp Acts, has been transposed to Court Fees, and Bombay Actl of 1865 now appears under the heading Bombay Survey and Settlement Act I of Many separate minor headings have been brought under more general headings, and several sub-headin gs have been somewhat verbally altered. The vernacular terms and expressions which are scattered throughout the Reports are now printed in roman letters instead of italics, and some uniformity in their spelling has been observed.
