Killian v. Augusta, etc., R. Co., 78 Ga. 749. Name of Clerk Misspelled.--Where a statute does not require the name of the clerk to be contained in the address on the return, the mere fact of addressing the commission and deposition to "L. Enos Greene," instead of to " Zenos Greene," is immaterial. Rust v. Eckler, 41 N. Y. 488. 1. Morgan v. Jones, 44 Conn. 225; Van Sickle v. Gibson, 40 Mich. 170; Ward v. Ely, 1 Dev. (N. Car.) 372; Nussear v. Arnold, 13 S. & R. (Pa.) 323 Deposition Delivered In Person.--Where depositions were taken by a justice of the peace, and his certificate showed that they had never been out of his possession or altered until he delivered them to the clerk of the court, they were held not to be inadmissible because the justice failed to comply with a statutory requirement relating to commissions, and directing that they be placed in an envelope and sealed, and the seal indorsed with the name of the commissioner and the style of the cause.

Valuation of Property.--In Indian Territory it has been held that since the officer's duty is to attach property enough to cover the claim sued upon, he should designate in his return the approximate value of the property seized, thereby showing how in this regard he has discharged his duty. Barton v. Ferguson. 1 Indian Ter. 263. Appraisement.--In Kansas, where the sheriff is required to call in two disinterested persons to appraise the property attached, a failure of the officer to participate in the appraisement is not material error. Emerson v. Thatcher, 6 Kan. App. 325. Nor need the appraisement be immediately made. Dodson i. Wightman, 6 Kan. App. 835. And the appraisement of chattels which the appraisers are not able to see and examine will not render the levy wholly invalid. Dodson v. Wis;htman. 6 Kan. App. S35. Property Already in Possession of Officer.--German Sav. Bank v. Capital City Oatmeal Co., 108 Iowa 3S0. Failure to Serve the Inventory upon the defendant does not affect the validity of the levy.

Excerpt from The Encyclopaedia of Pleading and Practice, Vol. 1: Under the Codes and Practice Acts, at Common Law, in Equity and in Criminal Cases The practicality of treating the whole body of substantive law in the form of an encyclopaedia has already been demon strated. It has been shown beyond doubt that there is great advantage and economy to be derived from having in one series of books practically all the law of general application. The present work is an attempt to do for pleading and practice what its prototype has done for substantive law. The difficulties of the work were recognized, but they have not proved insurmountable.

Excerpt from Supplement to the Encyclopaedia of Pleading and Practice, Vol. 1 Bills in Equity in the third volume of the original work are supplemented. In both text and notes the catch lines which appear in the encyclopedia or pleading and practice are here repeated in connection with new cases, thereby denoting that such new cases support the statement of law made in the text or notes of the original work under the corresponding catch line. The large heavy-faced figures refer to the pages of the volume of the original work. The smaller figure following the page number in the notes refers to the original note numbered by that same figure on that page. Thus, a note numbered 850. With cases cited, indicates that those cases support the proposition to which the cases in note I on page 350 were cited. In some instances the new cases have necessitated the writing of new text, and the fact that such text is new is indicated by inclosing it with brackets. In the notes great freedom has been indulged in stating new illustrations and applications. The omission of a title that appeared in the original work implies that no new cases on that subject have been found.

Ehret v. Schuylkill River East Side R. Co., 151 Pa. St. 158. 6.
