A CARD,

FROM THE REPORTER TO HIS PROFESSIONAL BRETHREN AND THE PUBLIC GENERALLY.

Some of the longest cases which were argued at the late term, having been ordered to be re-argued at the next, or held under a curia advisare vult, the size of the present volume would be reduced if it contained only the cases decided. The Reporter takes advantage of the favourable opportunity, to insert two articles which he believes will be acceptable to the profession. One is, a publication of the entire Rules of Court, Common Law and Chancery, the latter of which were adopted at January term 1842, subject to such revision as might be made at the late term. They are now published as having undergone that revision, and it will be a convenience to the Bar to have the whole rules together. The other article is a list of all the cases which have been decided by the Supreme Court since its origin, with a reference to the volume in which they are to be found.

The Reporter avails himself of this opportunity to tender his professional services, in arguing causes before the Supreme Court. Cases are often brought up from distant courts; and from the uncertainty of the time at which they may be called, as well as the small amount in controversy, it is inconvenient or impossible for the counsel who argued them below to follow them. The daily presence of, the Reporter in court will ensure his attention to any cases that may be confided to him.
