Excerpt from Underwood's Interference PracticeIn the preparation of this work I have sought to con fine the text to matters which pertain particularly to Interferences and to cover all the important points which have been the subject of controversy in the past twenty years and which have not been rendered entirely obsolete by changes in the Rules of Practice in that period. Many old cases are considered, but they are such as are believed might have a bearing upon the construction of present rules. I have considered that brevity in the statements of points of law would be more useful than extended argument. It is assumed that those who use the book are familiar with the subject in general and all they need in the conduct of a case is a reminder of the points which may be made and a citation of authorities relating there to. Without such reminder one may overlook important points of evidence which might be presented. A busy lawyer can not stop to read a volume on evidence before, or at the time of taking testimony, hence evidence is herein treated in a limited sense, relating to those matters which are most likely to arise in taking testimony in an Interference.I send this book forth, hoping that it may aid in a more accurate presentation of causes and in developing a more uniform practice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
