The Law of Inferior Courts, for the Recovery of Debts. 8vo. London. 1845. MOSELEY, W. Reports of Cases in the High Court of Chan- cery, during the time of Lord Chancellor King. 8vo. London. 1803. Moseley reports the Decisions of Lord King, and though the Cases are not remarkable for fulness or accuracy, they are of respectable au- thority. In consequence of remarljs made by Lord Mansfield, Baron Thompson, and others, in disparagement of these Reports, they were, for a long time, in disrepute. Lord Eldon, quite as good a judge of their merits, says : " That book has been brought into some disrepute by a saying of Lord Mansfield, that no man should cite Moseley. I, myself, think very differently from Lord Mansfield on that subject, hav- ing always considered Moseley's Reports as a book possessing a very considerable degree of accuracy." 5 Bur. 2629; 3 Anst. 861 ; 1 Meriv. 92; 19 Ves. 488, n; Wallace's Reporters, xxix. ; 1 Binney, 213; 2 Swanst, 195, n; 5 T.
