DECISIONS IN EQUITY. BEING SELECT CASES DECIDED IN THE APPELLATE WITH NOTES REFERRING TO THE PRINCIPAL MATTERS. ANNUAL. FIRST SERIES. VOLUME II. ANNOTATED BY ARDEMUS STEWART, OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR. PHILADELPHIA: M. MURPHY, LAW BOOK PUBLISHER AND IMPORTER, No. 715 SANSOM STREET. PREFACE. In preparing the second volume of this series, I have followed substantially the plan outlined and pursued by my able and experienced predecessor, permitting myself the luxury of such changes.only in the make-up of the book as it seemed would facilitate reference thereto; e. g., the introduction into the notes of sections and headlines, the consolidation of the two indexes of the first volume, and an enlarged table of contents. I have endeavored to make the notes as exhaustive of their particular subjects as the plan of the work rendered practicable, and have also endeavored to avoid duplicating the annotations in the first volume, except in one instance, (the note to In re Debs,) which is its own best excuse; for an omission to insert that case, which was the most important decision of the last year, forever putting to rest, so far as this country is concerned, the previously much-vexed question of the authority of equity to interfere in labor disputes, would have been a far more serious defect than the repetition of the note on that subject.
