The Law Of Distress

Excerpt from The Law of Distress: With an Appendix of Forms, Table of Statutes, Practice A Second Edition of this Book having been called for, we have carefully revised the whole work, and included the Law of Distress Amendment Act, 1888, which contains important alterations with regard to bailiffs and appraisements, and adopts sects. 50 and 52 of the Agricultural Holdings (England) Act, 1883, making these sections now apply to any holdings, and not, as previously, to holdings under the Act. It also confers a new exemption from distress upon wearing apparel, bedding, and tools of trade to the value of 5, following the provisions of sect. 96 of the County Courts Act, 1846, with regard to executions. The fact also that the County Courts Act, 1888, and the Rules drawn pursuant thereto, have consolidated and amended all previous County Court Acts and Rules, has necessitated considerable revision in the Chapter on Replevin. All decisions reported since the last edition have been noted down to the date of publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
