Excerpt from The Revised Reports, Vol. 92: Being a Republication of Such Cases in the English Courts of Common Law and Equity, From the Year 1785, as Are Still of Practical Utility; 1851-1853, 14 and 15 Beavan, 12 Common Bench At p. 579 Cannon v. Rimz'ngi'on shows us a writ of formedon, which we conceive must be among the last of its kind. Willouglzby v. Horridge, p. 866, is a rather interesting case, though it would now hardly be considered arguable, on the duty of owners of public conveyances to provide safe and sufficient appliances for the transit undertaken by them in every stage. Note, learned reader, the dictum of Mauls, J. At p. 870, concerning purveyors of chairs and tenpenny nails. Rz'dentem dicere z'erum has been the way of many strong judges from Bereford, oj. (see the lately published Year Books of Edward II.) to Maule, Knight Bruce, and Lord Macnaghten. Leroux v. Brown, p. 889, may be taken as having settled, as against some former show of authority, and notwithstanding some later expressions of doubt, that the fourth section of the Statute Of Frauds is a rule of procedure and not of substance, and therefore has to be applied in our Courts without regard either to the local law governing the substance Of the contract or to the procedure of the Courts administering that law. In Foster v. Crabb, p. 646, there is profitable learning on the proper custody of deeds in which several parties have common interests.
