PREFACE,

WITH this volume will close my work as Reporter. I cannot forbear to embrace the opportunity of expressing my many obligations to the members of the Supreme Court for the uniform kindness with which they have treated my efforts to properly present their work to the public.

I wish also in this connection to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. Howard M. Kellogg, to whose ability, care, and painstaking effort, I am largely indebted for whatever of excellence may be found in the reportorial work of the more recent volumes.

JOHN S. RUNNELLS.
