The back board is discoloured with a series of blots that may have been caused by liquid spillage; the spine is lightly chipped; page 101 is dogeared at the head, page 227 has been miscut by the printer and the tail's outer edge is creased; page 301 has minor loss to the outer edge, while page 303 has a small extension along the same area, possibly a printer's fault. A clean, solid and unmarked copy. xlii, 324 pages, indexed. "James Joseph Casey (1831-1913), politician and judge.With Angus Mackay he bought the Bendigo Advertiser; in 1863 the partners also established the McIvor Times and the Riverine Herald.As a lawyer and judge Casey made many improvements in the colony's judicial machinery. He initiated a system of magistrates appointed to districts rather than to the whole of Victoria and published Justice's Manual with the Justices' Statute and Notes Thereon (Melbourne, 1872); its success led to a second edition, co-authored by (Sir) Frank Gavan Duffy (1879). He also edited The Sandhurst Mining By-Laws and his notes clarified technicalities for less competent magistrates. Another result of his methodical mind was the publication of Victorian Parliamentary Debates. Casey's deliberations from the bench 'were always painstaking, clear-headed and prompt' and many of his judgments became legal precedents."

Store description
Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.…
