The Reporter, with the consent of the Court, induced the publishers to try the experiment of issuing the reported cases in serial numbers. For obvious reasons the series began with cases adjudged at the current term, none of which had been reported. Thus the unreported cases of the last term were left to be printed by themselves in this volume; and it happened that in carrying it through the press simultaneously with Vol. 109, the latter and a portion of Vol. 110 appeared before it. Arguments of counsel are reported more fully than the Reporter can hope to do hereafter. The cases are arranged in the order in which the judgments were announced. The same arrangement will be observed in future volumes unless circumstances prevent. In order that this volume may be properly cited, it is numbered only as a volume in the series of the United States Reports. It is the custom of the Court to cite decisions reported since Wallace only by the number in the official series, as "91 U. S.," "92 U. S.," &c. If counsel will do the same thing, it will aid in securing accuracy in reporting arguments. The proper citation for the cases reported in this volume is "108 U. S.," with the page added.
