believed, the whole of the subject-matter thoroughly and
completely revised.

The Index, always a matter of the first importance to a
practising lawyer, has been carefully collated and considerably
amplified; whilst among other novel features will be found
the introduction of Head Notes to each chapter, indicating
the more important matters dealt with therein; a Table of
Statutes; and the addition of Dates to all references to
decisions alike in the Table of Cases and at the foot of each
page where they originally occur.

The Editor desires to express his indebtedness to his friend

Mr. Harold B. Barkworth, of the Inner Temple and Western

Circuit, Barrister-at-Law, for valuable assistance in revision

throughout the work.

July, 1904.

In compliance with a suggestion of the Publishers, this Third

Edition of Clerk and Lindsell on Torts is produced as a

companion volume to the Fourteenth Edition of Chitty on

Contracts.

The Editors of these works, though each of them solely

responsible for his own book, have had the advantage of

frequently conferring with one another both on points of

arrangement and difficulty.
