Excerpt from A Compilation of Cases of Breaches of Privilege of the House, in the Assembly of the State of New York: Reports of Standing and Special Committees and the Proceeding and Judgments Thereon Together With Full References to All Action in Each Case From 1777 to 1871 In the preparation of this compilation, the object of the foregoing resolution of the Assembly has been earnestly prosecuted, and as fully complied with as the nature of the work would permit, and with the purpose of furnishing useful precedents and reliable and valuable authority. Many of the cases are unimportant, but there is given no discretion to select and no authority to omit them. Such discretion and authority would have relieved this compilation of much valueless matter. The leading and ably contested cases are given, sufficiently full to avoid the necessity of references to the original journals and documents, beginning with the first complaint or motion and ending with the execution of the final judgment of the House. In all instances, full and definite references are made to all proceedings, evidence and conclusions, thereby enabling any one to easily obtain the entire proceedings in each and every case. Efforts have been made, and it is hoped successfully, to render the index complete and explicit with the purpose of its taking in some degree the place of a digest, which would be of great value, but which is not authorized to be made by the terms of the resolution. This compilation has been prepared under my supervision, with the assistance and co-operation of Lyman B. Smith, assistant clerk, and William J. Wilson, deputy clerk.
