Stran 624 - And if it be complained that by this inactivity of the courts much injustice may be suffered and much misery produced, the answer is that courts of justice do not pretend to furnish cures for all the miseries of human life.
Stran 664 - The copy of any certificate of incorporation, filed in pursuance of this act, certified by the county clerk or his deputy, to be a true copy, and of the whole of such certificate, shall be received in all courts and places, as presumptive legal evidence of the facts therein stated.
Stran 623 - In a state of personal danger no duties can be discharged; for the duty of self-preservation must take place before the duties of marriage, which are secondary both in commencement and in obligation; but what falls short of this is with great caution to be admitted.
