38 volumes: making a total number of 246 volumes of Reports cited. The points of the decisions have been arranged under the statutes, rules, and subjects to which they respectively relate. Some cases upon jurisdiction in bankruptcy are cited, because questions with reference to such jurisdiction may arise collaterally in other matters. But decisions relating to practice in bankruptcy have been omitted, for the obvious reason that we have no national bankrupt law at the present time; and therefore a collection of such decisions would not now be useful to practitioners. The decisions upon pleadings and practice in the Circuit Courts, in actions at common law and in criminal prosecutions, will usually be found applicable in like proceedings in the District Courts.
