Leading Cases of the Court of Civil Appeals of the State of Tennessee, Vol. 5

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Cases of the Court of Civil Appeals of the State of Tennessee, Vol. 5: With Syllabi and Notes In some two or three instances in the preparation of this volume it has occurred that opinions of the Court of Civil Appeals are published notwithstanding publication of decisions of the Supreme Court in the same cases This was occasioned by the length of time elapsing be tween the date of decisions by the Supreme Court and the filing of the opinion by that tribunal, leading to the as sumption that no Opinion would be filed. This is, of course, not true as to the case of H arm's v. Trust Co., 678. That opinion was inserted at the earnest and repeated solicitation of many lawyers. There are to be found in this volume a few cases not removed to the Supreme Court. We are convinced that no apology is needed for their insertion. They will be found useful; and sometime in future they will be found of value in the search for the authoritative announce ment of what the law is in Tennessee. They will cer tainly be given preference over foreign adjudications; at least they should be. The publishers report sufficient demand to warrant the continuance of this series.
