ERRAT A.

ADAMS. CARROLL & Co., 2, second paragraph of syllabus, for "The disposal of one of the interest of such shareholders," read "The disposal of the interest of one of such shareholders."

GERARD V. PENNA. R. R. Co., 252, column 1., 12th and 13th lines from the bottom, for "also entitled to a clear track," read "also entitled to a clear depot." KELLY V. CITY OF PITTSBURGH, 333, last line of opinion, for "palaces," read "places."

NOTE.

In the former volumes separate indexes were printed of the Supreme Court Cases and of the Cases in other Courts. There were also separate tables of cases. In this volume all the cases reported have been indexed together, the cases in the lower Courts being indicated by a prefix, thus: (C. P.), (O. C.), (Q. S.), (U. S. C. C.), etc. There is also a single table of cases. It is believed that this plan will facilitate reference.
