authorities have been omitted, and cases have been multiplied only where they are of considerable illustrative value. The author desires to acknowledge here his indebtedness to Mr. U. Grant Hayden of the California Bar for valuable assistance rendered in noting statutory revisions made and cases decided since the preparation of the manuscript, and in making the index to the work, which it is believed the profession will find to be of unusual excellence.
