THE REMOVAL OF CAUSES FROM THE COURTS OF THE SEVERAL STATES TO THE CIRCUIT COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES BY B. C. MOON, ATTORNEY AT LAW, KOKOMO, IND. NEW YORK CITY: THE BANKS LAW PUBLISHING COMPANY PREFACE. The volume herewith presented is the result of the labors of the author. I have personally examined every decision cited. If the law is misstated, the fault is mine, and not that of some law student or other substitute working in my name. I have spent the summer vacations of the courts, and such other time as I could spare from my law practice, for the past five years, in the preparation of this volume. Great care has been taken to make the, text and notes as accurate as possible. But errors may have crept in unawares, and omissions may be discovered. be discovered. I shall be pleased to receive a notice of any errors discovered that they may be corrected in future editions. Upon many subjects the decisions are so in conflict and confusion that approximate accuracy only is attainable. I have examined, case by case, the decisions of the Supreme Court, the Circuit Courts of Appeals, the Circuit Courts, and the District Courts of the United States, reported at this date (December 31, 1900), an immense task, and have cited such as I have thought applicable. Some later cases may be added to the proof sheets as the volume goes through the press. It has not been practicable thus to examine, case by case, the decisions of the State courts; but the digests have been carefully examined for State cases seemingly in point. The State cases so found have all been examined, and the best ones cited. I hope that this volume may be found to have a value commensurate to the labor bestowed upon it. Child of my brain, go forth and do battle for the right! B. C. M. |
