Excerpt from A Treatise and Forms for Use in Justices' Courts and Upon Appeals Therefrom to the Circuit Court: Also in Proceedings of Lunacy and Bastardy, and Before Coroners, Etc., With Many Miscellaneous Forms of a General Nature, Adapted to the State of West Virginia

The work will be of practical use in the draft of orders, notices and other like matters, by means of the numerous forms which it contains. It is believed that the forms of warrants of arrest found in this work, primarily designed for use by the justice, will be of practical aid in the draft of indictments, as these forms contain all the essential averments required in indictments for the various Offenses to which they relate. These forms were prepared with this end in view. It seemed advisable, upon first impression, to set out in notes the statutes to which the different forms of warrants for arrest relate, but further consideration showed that this could be obviated by means of references to the chapters and sections of the statute to which these forms are adapted.

It has been the endeavor of the author to present a practical view of the law governing the exercise of the powers and duties of the justice, both in his own court and upon review on appeal to the circuit court. How far he has succeeded in' this will be determined by the judgment of a generous profession.
