Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the Surrogate's Courts of the State of New York, Vol. 1: With Annotations The preparation of a case in the Surrogate' 8 Court is often atten ded with dificult'y owing to the inconvenience attending the examination of the numerous volumes of reports in search of decisions bearing on the questions involved. To remedy this inconvenience it is proposed to continue the series of Surrogate' 5 Reports, thus giving the busy practitioner a ready reference to all the important cases decided in the Surrogates' Courts of the State. This volume continues the series from 1894, where Power' s Report ended, and the notes to the cases refer to the later de cisions on the points involved in those cases, including those in the appellate courts, thus giving the entire law on such points to the commencement of this year.
