Excerpt from Reports and Dissertations, Vol. 1 of 2: With an Appendix Containing Forms of Special Pleadings in Several Cases, Forms of Recognizances, of Justices Records, and of Warrants of Commitment
In the following cases, there is but one instance of a difference of opinion with the Judges. It was not practiced for the Judges to give their opinions seriatim on those points, in which they were agreed. I conceived it necessary to mention this, lest I should be thought to have omitted the arguments of my brethren on the bench.

Excerpt from Reports and Dissertations, Vol. 1 of 2: With an Appendix Containing Forms of Special Pleadings in Several Cases, Forms of Recognizances, of Justices Records, and of Warrants of Commitment
I do not apprehend any apology, for publishing the following reports, to be necessary. In our mode of practice, a doubt lest the principles of some determinations may have been erroneous, ought not to be a reason for withholding their publication. It is well known, that the maxims and precedents of the English law do not, with us apply in all cases. From a difference of government and a difference of customs, the reason of cases frequently differs. The english common law writers fail us, in many instances. It becomes necessary, therefore to investigate principles, and establish precedents for ourselves. While former decisions rest only in the memory of the Judge, overburdened in term, and perplexed with a multiplicity of cases; or in the memory of the counsel, frequently under a powerful bins, in the recollection and statement, little assistance, in establishing uniform principles, can be expected from precedents. Such is the order of courts and the mode of practice in this state, that the Judges can have little opportunity for deliberation. They are necessitated to form their opinions, as I may say, in transitu, and on the urgency of occasion. It is therefore, of importance to them, and to the public, that they should have an opportunity of reviewing as well what is wrong as what is right in their decisions. This may enable them to correct their former errors, and at leisure to discover those principles of Justice, and the exceptions and limitations of each, which might have escaped their utmost sagacity in the hurry of the circuit. It may assist them, no less, in tracing, establishing, and rendering familiar, on every emergency, those permanent principles, of which they had, perhaps, caught only a glance on the occasion.
In the following cases, there is but one instance of a difference of opinion with the Judges. It was not practiced for the Judges to give their opinions seriatim on those points, in which they were agreed. I conceived it necessary to mention this, lest I should be thought to have omitted the arguments of my brethren on the bench.
