REFERENCE INDEX MARITIME LAW DECISIONS. : ALPHABETICAL REFERENCE INDEX TO EECENT AND BIPORTANT MARITIME LAW DECISIONS COMPILED BY ROBERT R. DOUGLAS. LONDON STEYENS AND SONS, 119, CHANCERY LANE, 1888 : T LONDON PIONTED BY C. F. EO"WORTn, GEEAT NEW BTEEET, FETTEE LANE— K.C. ^ PREFACE. V ^ In the following pages will be found the result, in a condensed form, of most of the recent, and several of the more important and less recent, Maritime Law Decisions, with complete Alphabetical References to the various points decided thereby. In each case the date of trial is given, together with the weight of legal authority in favor of and against the decision arrived at, and the decision itself very briefly, but, where possible, in the words used in the judgment. Although I have taken every care to avoid errors, I fear I shall not have succeeded entirely, and I have to crave the leniency of my readers. I think a work of this kind, gathering within itself information extracted from a variety of soui'ces, vrill be found useful to mercantile men. Our law is based almost exclusively upon prece'dent, and the merit I claim for this jDub- . fr. lication is that, to some extent at all events, it enables parties, in case of a dispute, to ap- praise their relative legal positions.
