Cases relative to Titles that have been obsoleted by Statute, or that have been expressly decided to be Law in later cases, should be omitted.

their rank, in such manner to the intent that if there were a competent number of notes of the
same case to chuse out of among the produced by those of one or more higher order, the Revisors might

notice of the inferior orders. Then orders might stand thus — in the 1st Judge of Westminster
Hall Chancellor & Master of the Rolls. In the 2d Client Judges of Wales
Chester & Ely, Kings Serjeants & Council. and In the 3d Serjeants & Council Barristers of standing
to be Serjeants. In the 4th other Barristers. In the 5th Students.
