Uncommon Law: Being 66 Misleading Cases

Rating:
Summary: There are 18 volumes of Misleading Cases in the Common Law
Review: I have been able to find only one volume by Herbert--it was published by Methuen in 1935, and republished in 1969. This author is exceptionally good, funny, and stimulating. Somebody should make all of his writing available.

Rating:
Summary: Should be compulsory reading for lawyers/law students
Review: Is a flodded road a street or a waterway?? - Rumpelheimer v. Haddock -

Is marriage lawful or should it be considered kindred to (russian?) roulett or other games of chance and therefore be prohibited? - Marrowfat v. Marrowfat -

Is there a right of free speech or it true that the only freedom one has left e.g. on a public street is to pass at an even pace from ome end of it to another breathing unobtrusively through the nose and attracting no attention? - Engheim et.al. v. The King -

If these are the legal questions of everyday life or of eternal significance you would like to read about, then this book is for you.
