and Statue, into a Single Law. The first Five Documents
were prepared previously to the meeting of the Criminal
Law Committee, and were designed as the Basis of the
intended Reform; that Department which it was proposed
Mr. Hammond should fill, and which has been continued
to him under the New Arrangement.
The Principles upon which the Digest has been framed,
are these:—First, an Abstract is given consisting of two
branches; 1. The General Rule, or Exception, which the
case warrants; 2. The Reasons of the Rule or Exception.
Secondly, the Case is subjoined at length, to afford a Medium
for Verifying the Fidelity of the Abstract; to afford,
too, an Illustration of the Rule, and to render unnecessary
any Reference to the Reports.
The Distribution of the Contents of each Article has been
thus:—
1. A Table of Contents.
2. A Table of the Names of the Cases cited or referred to.
Each case is followed by p. with a number, denoting the
Page of this Code in which it will be found. It is followed,
likewise, either by pl. or n.; of which the first denotes the
Placitum, the second the Note in that Page in which it is
placed.
3. A Table of the Books and Opinions cited, The figures
within the brackets denote the chapter, section, page, and
so forth, of the book quoted; the figures not within brackets,
denote the page of this Code, and the placitum or note of
that page, in which the quotation will be found.
4. A Table of the Statues consolidated or referred to.
