Excerpt from Practice, Pleadings, and Forms in Civil Actions, Vol. 1: In Courts of Record in the State of New York; Adapted to the Code of Procedure of the State of New York; Adapted Also to the Practice in California, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Ohio, Alabama, Minnesota, and Oregon Code is rather confusing to a practitioner who seeks to use it as a handbook in the course of an action. The present work is intended to cover the whole subject of practice and pleading in civil actions in Courts of Record of this State, without regard to the distinction between law and equity. The Code of Procedure, the rules of court, and the principal statutes relating to practice under the Code, are first given. The whole practice in courts of record is stated in the order in which it naturally proceeds in actual cases, except where subjects are so closely allied in their nature, that nine lawyers out of ten would be annoyed by not finding them together. The forms are always given in the same place with the text of the practice relating to them, while they are distinctly numbered, so that they can be referred to separately, if desired.
