Excerpt from The Local Courts Act and the County Courts Act: Being Chapters 54 and 55 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1897, With Cases Applying Thereto, and Notes

By the County Courts Act, 1896, and the recent consolidation of the Rules of Practice, the jurisdiction and practice of the County Courts have been so changed that it is thought this collection of cases applying thereto may be useful.

An endeavor has been made to confine the notes, as far as possible, to matters that are not dealt with in other books on Practice. The practice of the County Courts being generally that of the High Court, it seemed unnecessary to add another to the works on that subject, and only such matters of practice are dealt with here as relate particularly to the County Courts.

Besides the Acts annotated, there are a number of other statutes that confer special jurisdiction, in a variety of matters, upon the County Courts and their Judges. To deal adequately with this additional jurisdiction, however, would require a much larger work, which would not be so generally useful as to justify its preparation.

In this attempt to collect the law relating to the County Courts, nothing has been included that did not seem to be of practical importance, and the points decided in the cases cited have been stated as concisely as possible. No doubt errors have been made, but it is hoped the work will be of benefit to those who have business in the County Courts.
