Reports of Important Cases Heard and Determined by the Supreme Court of Ceylon, 1927 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Reports of Important Cases Heard and Determined by the Supreme Court of Ceylon, 1927

A proctor who prefers against a judge the charge of unfairly sup pressing evidence, on grounds which are slight and frivolous, is guilty of gross unprofessional conduct.

And the suitor, in whose petition of appeal the false and scandalous charges were laid, is guilty of contempt of the Supreme Court.

A judge is not bound to write down all that is asked by advocates and all that is said by witnesses. His duty is to take down only that Whichis material and relevant.

Excerpt from Reports of Important Cases Heard and Determined by the Supreme Court of Ceylon, 1927

In ray preface to the reports for 1820 - 38, I stated that if the judgments of the Supreme Court for the thirty years comprised in the following periods, viz, -

could be published, the profession would have a complete series of reports from 1820 - 1874.

In 1877, I published the reports for 1820 - 33.

Since then I have not been able to work with effect on the scheme I had set before myself, as I had to give my prior attention to the publication of the reports for 1877, and of the Supreme Court Circular for 1878 and part of that Circular for 1879.

The volume I now issue comprises the reports for the three years ending 1862. The reports for 1861 and 1862 have never been printed, though the reports for 1860 were partially, in the pages of the Legal Miscellany. I need not say that the Legal Miscellany went out of print many years ago.
