Note.

A pair of documents capable of being referred to as
constituting a precedent for the paper here in question
are in the House of Common's Paper intituled "Report made
to his Majesty by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into
the Practice of Chancery,-1 "A paper of Propositions":
speaking of which in page 10, the Commissioners in , says "we have
ventured to propose many alterations in that practice, which
we have set down in the form of distinct propositions":
2. a Paper, intituled "Explanatory Paper": speaking of which
the said Commissioners stile it "an explanatory paper, prepared
" by one of our own body, who is very conversant with
"the principle and practice of the Court of Chancery: and
"which, without pledging ourselves to the whole of it's contents,
"we think will be found a very useful and valuable comment
"upon those Propositions to which it refers." p.10.

At the outset, to obviate the objection of imcompleatness of extent or deficiency
of detail, give intimation that no small body detail which could have have been given has been
forborne to be given, under
the notion of necessity.
