1813-01-01 to 1813-12-31 Gould, James It is not always the case that an individual can have his action to redress the civil injury occasioned by a public offence; for it is regularly true at Com law that where the offence amounts to felony, that the civil injury is merged therein.

1813-05-03 Reeve, Tapping The general powers of the court of chancery are incapable of a definition. They must be learned by considering the cases and subject about which they are conversant. Chancery, Volume 2 No. 1 Powers of Chancery
