Excerpt from Curiosities of the Law Reporters Eports and Pleas of Assizes atyorke, by John Clayton, is the title of a very thin duo decimo published in 1651. If this book, writes Mr. Allibone, will do all that Mr. Clayton promises for it, we should suppose that our friends the lawyers would insist on its immediate republication. You may see here how to avoid a dangerous jury to your client, what evidence best to use for him, how to keep the judge so he overrule you not; so that, if it be not your own fault, as too often it is for fear of favor, - the client may have his cause so handled as, if he be plaintiff, he may have his right, and if de fendant, moderately punished, or recompensed for his vexation; and such pleaders the people need.
