Maddock's Chancery is a comprehensive Treatise, and is in general use as a text book in England, and was, formerly, in this country, before the appearance of Judge Story's writings upon Equity. It was written while the author was quite young, and has been considerably enlarged in the successive editions. The work embraces a pretty thorough col- lection of Cases, but its arrangement is, in some respects, arbitrary, and the author's deductions are not always to be depended upon. 15 A. J. 367; 12 L.

Reports of Cases argued and determined in the Court of the Vice-Chancellor of England, during the Time of Sir John Leach. Svo. London. 1829. " Sir John Leach seemed to think that what he had to do was chiefly to avoid the dilatory habits of Lord Eldon. Accordingly, he decided Cases with a rapidity so dangerous, that Sir Samuel Romilly said, his hasty injustice was far worse than the slow justice of the Chancellor; and appeals from his judgments being greatly multiplied, both Lord Eldon and Lord Brougham complained, saying, that causes were decided at the Rolls and heard before them." 1 Law.
