as sources of argument in that sort of law: viz. such as decisions
on contested cases, for memorials of judicial practice in uncontested cases
or on points uncontested – general inferences drawn from such particular decisions in treatises antient or modern – and so in
reference to their several authorities, as cited on both sides –
