BRIEF

UPON THE

PLEADINGS IN CIVIL ACTIONS

AT LAW, IN EQUITY, AND UNDER THE
NEW PROCEDURE.

BY

AUSTIN ABBOTT,

OF THE NEW YORK BAR.

The pleadings now more frequently than ever before determine the fate of the
cause. Technicalities have lost importance; and the just principle
of fair notice to counsel and court has gained control, and

calls for free reasoning in view of the results

of forensic and judicial experience.
